So I guess all of that is confused, or maybe we're all being lied too? Maybe that's why they stopped making the light?
Another poster went as far as posting a pic of the batteries, and they clearly say nimh.
Do you have a pic of your batteries where they say lith-ion on them?
If you're not trolling, the only thing I can think of is that Philllips makes a similar looking light that apparently does use lith-ion, but the battery pack is seperate called the SafeRide -

While it looks similar, it apparently does not have a cutoff and is a fairly different light.
If you don't have a pic of your batteries, do you have a pic of your light?
It sounds like the marketing department of Phillips got confused, put the wrong thing on the product page, and thus the Phillips response is most likely them looking at their own product page and repeating incorrect information.
If the guy from the link I posted above - who's written numerous reviews and sells the Saferide himself - hasn't heard of a lith-ion version, I would think it's because there is no such version. I just ordered a Saferide from him, I guess I'll see for myself in a week or two, but I haven't seen a version with lith-ion.
People just get confused - in an earlier thread someone kept insisting the Ixon IQ Premium used lith-ion batteries, but kept posting links to the Ixon Core light - a very different light from the same company.
