Because the On/Off switch was exposed and could easily get turned on inside a glovebox, so it spent its charge inside, in the dark, and no one saw it being on.
On the headlamps/miners lamps I used in search and rescue, I learned to keep the top lid unlatched when inside my pack, so it couldn't get turned on accidentally. Good units if you took care of them. USA-made.
