Courtesy of some advice I picked up here on bikeforums, I now put a bread tie around mine and haven't had a problem since.

There were some riders who complained that the original Planetbike Superflash were coming apart while riding.
This was a few years ago(maybe 5/6) and it also happened to me. But I haven't heard of anybody having the
same problem lately. Even the replacement that Planetbike sent me for free has been trouble free for 4 years.
Then I replaced it with the Superflash Turbo(which has the same housing); that's been trouble free for over a
year. I never used tape or wires on my PB lights.
