ok, THIS is the genuine article, not the cheap knockoffs, which I have mistakenly bought in the past (and some of the ones with the green button were a total waste of money.) got these to replace mine, which was 10 years old and still in excellent condition, despite many drops and much use (near daily.) the orange power button material never cracked. and the battery pack/ cartridge (where the 3 AAAs fit into the slots in this part,) never was loose, so no connection/flicker issues at all. I just couldn't find it, so I ended up replacing mine (it sad to lose something special, it was a gift from a missed loved one,) but now at least I have the right replacement, another one for the glove compartment, and the other for the nail right NEXT to the nail I put behind the front door to ALWAYS use for my keys, and I never lose them since I started doing this. Good to be able to find keys and flashlight on proprietary spot, especially in an emergency, even in the dark. I hope this helps someone.
