Got my light box up & operating last night & made the first commute today. The 55 watt flood type light is more than enough for the dark part of my commute. The 2 yellow xenon flashers are mounted front & rear. I also had a red blinkie hanging from my hip pocket & my usual reflective vest & ankle bands. The few cars that passed me on the 2 lane country road (darkest part of my commute) moved out & straddled the center line. Usually cars just zoom past with some giving a bit more room on my side. I put all on 1 circuit with a switch on the side of the box. I ran the setup on my ride home at lunch time & noticed some drivers checking out my setup. Put it on the charger tonight & the gauge showed 75%. Total burn time (including playing around & a short ride last night plus all the demonstrations for my co-workers this morning) was 45 minutes so it appears I might be able to get a 3 hour run time but 2.5 hrs seems more realistic.
The recharge time was 1.5 hrs at the 2 amp setting on my charger. The motorcycle battery is a bit heavy but it didn't affect handling & I didn't notice the extra weight on the 2 hills I climb. Don
