That is a bummer to hear, but pretty much expected. Once they take your money they are done with you.
I have been making custom, "made to order" high performance bike lights for over 6 years now. Have them being used by mtn bikers, commuters, endurance racers all over the world. My stuff is going to be a bit more expensive than the Chinese stuff, but that is because I use quality components that I know I can stand behind for years.
I am now making/offering an insanely bright (~400 lumens on max) red tail light. Multi mode (solid and strobing)
I can do it with a MagicShine cable so it will work with your existing battery, if needed.
Just thought I would throw it out there in case you were looking for an American made product, made by a fellow cyclist, that stands behind his product and you can get in contact with if ever needed.

Amoeba - the simplest "light" form for some ride pics and videos. You can shoot me an email at
JButhman@gmail.com if you would like some info on what I can do.
