That's the Achilles heel of that light. (well, other than it's size making it difficult to mount securely) The batteries are loose in the body, so it can flicker when bumped. Wrapping the batteries helps a little.
Honestly tho', since the head unscrews off so easily, my "dream mod" is to convert the light into a head and separate battery pack.
For those who've been asking about what this light looks like on the road, I have an old pic in
this thread, although I didn't point the light very far down. My favorite mod to increasing the near-field lighting is to add a second light.
