I don't think I should have to repair a SIXTY DOLLAR BRAND NEW light. Sure, I could fix it, and I considered it, but it's ridiculous that a light that expensive has such a problem in the first place, and decided that the manufacturer should make it good, if for no other reason that they need to get the light in hand to see why it failed, so they can fix the problem in the future.

It would actually be quite easy to fix since it's closed with four hex cap nuts, so it's easy to take apart and reseal the seam. I would bet that the O ring probably wasn't seated properly.
