So it seems that sometimes they go above and beyond what they promise. That really sold me on the brand. I've had a few of their lights, and they're tough, and for what it's worth, they're made in the USA.
That was the other thing that had be looking at NiteRider, they too are made in the USA, in San Diego. I haven't had to send my light in for a battery replacement, so I don't know if they'll replace the battery or send a new unit. My Lumina is built like a tank, the best built headlight I've ever bought, probably tied with the Philips Saferide 80 in build quality.

The only thing that bugged me a little about the Philips was that the light housing was a bit too heavy for the mounting bracket, so I have to really crank down on it to make it hold so it doesn't move when hitting bumps, but it still runs 18 years later.
