If it were me, I would also follow up by CC to the manufacturer.
7 month follow up, still working fine.
I followed up with PW as soon after "the fix" and he never responded, honestly I know he's busy but he really never seemed to care about this issue. I'd found someone else with the exact same problem and they had dealt with PW as well, so I know that at least 2 people had this issue. They just kept telling me to send it back, send it back. In the first few months I had the light it was broken more than it was working. Since this "repair" it's worked fine through thousands of miles and practically daily use.
Honestly, I don't care about the brake function, so knowing that it is likely the cause for all this trouble really pisses me off. When the last light broke I asked for a non-brake one and they just didn't have them in stock. Later my GF at the time got a non-brake one and it's worked flawlessly. My advice, avoid the brake nonsense or see if they've figured out and fixed the issue.
