Looking to buy a lighting system for my beast, I have an 9year old blt
system that the battery is dead. What is out there for good systems with
about 2 hours of life?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I posted this a while back. Instead of tossing your old light try this -->

12 years ago I bought a 15w 'Niterider' (NR) brand halogen to illuminate my
night rides. A dozen years of charging cycles and the nicad battery has
finally failed. I was aghast at the replacement cost from NR (70 - 80$ US)
and started to shop for different makers. REI had an ENTIRE 'Cygolite' setup
(a 10w spot with a 6w flood) for LESS that the replacement battery for the
NR.

So I went with the Cygolite and have been very happy with its performace but
I was missing my much brighter 15W NR. So I thought
'what-the-heck-why-dont-I-just-splice-this-into-the-Cygolite' and WAH LAH

TRICLOPS was born ! 31 WATTS Beaming out from my trusty steed. Makes for
nice decent down those dark fireroads on moonless nights

Run times 3 hours on the 6 watt, 2 hours 6W + 10W, 35-45 minutes running all
three (6+10+15)

SO Dont throw out your old Niterider!! Works great spliced into the
Cygolite nicad
