I've had several Orbilocs over the years, primarily as a dog's attention light, but also for other uses (running in the dark or jogging, etc.) Product development has helped, modern lights are easier to turn on and off than the twistable version of the early days. So far, one of the several previously bought new models goes on and off too easily by itself (a bad thing, e.g. in a dog's harness), but the one I bought now is sturdy enough, at least for the time being. The yellow light I chose is pleasing to my eyes.
However, this had the downside that the new rubber fastening strap is inferior to the rubber straps that have been included for some years. This new one cannot be properly attached to e.g. a dog's harness or collar if they are not very wide or have a more generous reinforcement part in them. The product information also says that it comes with "three different fasteners", but as far as I understand, that plastic ring is not actually its own fastener, but is meant to be used with the carabiner.
So one star off the degraded rubber strap.
