farewell to blackburn headlights

The strap broke on my beloved and possibly ten-to-twelve-year-old Blackburn headlight, pictured here. I tried to reach out to Blackburn because they'd twice replaced the unit after manufacturing defects, but they didn't respond.
farewell, old friend
I'm falling back on a much cheaper unit that takes double-a rechargeable batteries. It was an emergency purchase when I got caught cycling far away after a string of flats. I plan to use this for as many years as its cheap construction allows.
