My Obulb seems fried. Help? (self.flashlight)

I've got 8 of these things, had them for a few years, never seen this weirdness.

Last time I charged it, it seemed fine until I turned it on. Now it's cycling through every mode; low -> high -> red -> red blinky. It's been doing this for 3 days! Had to shove it in my desk drawer because it's driving me nuts. No, it won't turn off.

Can't find any reference to this behavior. Ideas?

Warranty.

This, for sure. Their customer service department is also pretty good. Had a couple of lights fixed up/replaced over the years without much trouble.

They have a lifetime warranty? I'll check! Thanks!

They do in some countries for products purchased after a certain date, but older products had something like 10 years.
