Then the price is right up there with an Ixon IQ which is an infinitely more elegant solution.

Make the connection from the light (the Female connection) slightly out of round by tapping it Very Lightly with something.

I'm done banging on the connector. I can get the light to come on, but I can't get it to stay on.

I recommend this one very bright, blinking setting can be seen from pretty far away, good value

Zero stars.

After several ebay message exchanges, the seller has agreed to send me a replacement light from China which will arrive in 30-40 days. Hopefully this one will work.
