The commute was not as pleasant as could be as my front light when out again not even half way into the ride. I do not like this light as it is difficult for me to take it off my handlebars so I can charge it.

On the good news front I have a two brand new rear lights as I purchased a new one and Niterider sent me a brand new one.. I told the clerk in the bike shop about my issue with the old light and he suggested I call niterider and tell them. I did call Niterider. I was told to send them the light which I did, and they replaced it with a brand new light.
