Looks like I’ve been using it since November 2021. After about two years the silicone button started deteriorating to the point where I had to use a sharp object to turn the light on/off, and in the last month the battery stopped holding a meaningful charge. I took it apart to see if the cell was replaceable and it doesn’t look good.
If I had the same sized cell with the lead wires pre-soldered to the battery I could solder it to the PCB but considering the button disintegrated in the process probably not worth the effort.
Totally rebuildable Lupine SL Mono on the way. The Dayblazer was nice and bright but I was never particularly happy with the throw pattern, a lot of the light was wasted.
