What other manufacturers produce a combo HID/LED light? Thanks.
Question 2 - Does anyone carry a charger to work every day? How heavy/bulky is it? How much does a second charger cost? This way I could pay less for battery power and recharge my headlight at work. Any thoughts?
1. On all the NiteRiders, the HID comes on before the LED, to the chagrin of many of their owners. I'd prefer a separate LED system for backup, that way if something fundamental goes wrong with your primary system (switch, connectors, BATTERY), you'd still have an alternative.
2. Just get a charger from batteryspace. $20 for a slow charger (0.5A), ~$30 for a faster charger (1.5A). Should outlast any light system, get a separate one for work, you can't have too many.
