Last night I had one of my dinottes go nuts in the rain so I'm glad I have two (in addition to a cherry bomb and superflash as backups and up higher lights to give an even larger light source). It seemed one of the batteries went kaput and it kept going out/on really really quick since the light worked fine when I switched the batteries after getting home.
I keep mine on the rapid pulse mode. My thinking is if you keep it on solid high, then cars just assume you are another fast moving vehicle from a distance. The pulse mode tells them you are something out of the ordinary and they need to plan their overtake.
