Is there something wrong with it? Are my batteries giving out? It can't handle bumps? (I ride on city streets only.) What?!
I dunno, mine does exactly the same thing. It goes dim until I whack it.
If I put fresh batteries in it, it's fine for three or four weeks. Then it goes dim unless I whack it again. I put in new batteries and it's fine for another month.
I think there's more to this than dirty or "tired" contact springs.
