Two hours run time if I don't use both front lights. One hour if I use both.

I make sure I'm noticed.
ah 100K candlepower xenon! So when you want to get around traffic, do you strobe 'em? Exactly what do you do with the strobe?

Incidently, I ran person built a light for under $30 including the recharger? His has been running for over a year on Radio Shack parts. http://www.nas.com/~petes/bikelite.htm
