The Rando 500 is going on two years old, the strap is still good, but the runtime is greatly diminished now and probably won't last another year.

I've mostly switched to NiteRider headlights, which are very comparable, a bit bulkier, but seem to be accessible for replacing the rechargeable batteries. And the Lumina Dual LED 1800 is outstanding, with a beam broad enough to cover typical two-lane rural highways edge to edge, and a lens that helps distribute the beam evenly and cut off the top to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. I checked out the L&M dual LED lights and they weren't really comparable. In the same price range the NiteRider is a better value.
