Busch & Mueller dtoplight

Just wondering what experiences people have had of this light?

I have (or had more like) one, which I was quite pleased with. However, whilst on my tour a few weeks ago - the non-stop rain seems to have completely broken it (even now, after having a full dry out and change of batteries). Needless to say, I'm going to have to replace it - but before I do, I want to know if others have had similar problems (ie - water ruining it)?

You might get more responses in the commuting forum as I suspect there's more folk there that use lights

I have not been too happy with the battery ones, as the switches have become stuck. To be honest, the sameor similar has happened to me with all other battery taillights. I think only an expensive Reed switch could prevent this. The generator ones have worked faultless through the worst conditions, however.

I've got the B&M Toplight D Plus. Dynamo driven and switched from my front light. Early days yet but no problems in some very heavy rain.
