  1. My Cateye EL300 Gigamax Headlight, basicacceptable lighting, quality
    manufacture, developed a switch stuck in ON-juice bleeding through
    giving a powered LED group BUT! visible only by chance or if looked
    directly into the LED. This will caws some tooth grinding. I assume the
    switch will stick off?

    Cause? dirt? The Jiffy Bath sprayed down into the switch with the LED
    held upward gives a pool of Jiffy. Switching on and off yawl can roll
    the pool back thru and side to side to flush dirt then let dry.

    and magic: switch works agin'

    whew!

    Cures: !! Green spring?? Take the lights and electronics battery box
    lids off and inspect for the green disease. Inspect now not later.
    Aha!! Green Spring?? I'm using Jiffy bath series II from GC
    electronics. Great stuff Pro stuff. No more corroded battery
    terminals. A nice coat of armorall over all the 21st century plastic
    rubber from cateye kkeps everything fresh for summer. The prestone
    silicone lube from Woolmort might work. I dunno.
