I have owned the orbit for a few months, but the only way it works is blinking. I can't figure out how to keep it on constantly. Any suggestions?

This happens with all Orbits as far as I can tell - I returned my first one for the same problem, but the second one does it as well. From what I've seen, the Orbit will shut off automatically if the batteries aren't strong enough to sustain the power draw from the bulb. To keep it on with the same batteries, lower the output setting. If you want it to run on full brightness, you have to put a fresh set in. Note that the battery output is lowered in cold temps, so you'll have to replace them more often in colder conditions. If fresh batteries don't solve your problem, you can return it to Backcountry or Black Diamond's warranty dpt. for your money back or a new one respectively. BD's number is 801-365-5555 hope that was a help
