    NiteRider TriNewt bike headlamp?

    NiteRider TriNewt bike headlamp?

    Sorry Darrell, I have to disagree. I just called them up and asked. Their sales dept said they were Seoul LEDs. (Of course it might help when I told them I worked in a bike store).

    Twice the Run Time and Brighter… B90 Upgrade

    My 2 cents: The initial charge tops out ~72 minutes. That's still 22 minutes above stock. If I get to the battery, I can reset the charger and get another 23 minutes. Sooo, if I'm lazy, I get a 44% increase. If I spend 30 seconds to reset the charger, I'll get 90% increase over stock. More...

    Twice the Run Time and Brighter… B90 Upgrade

    Have you checked to see if it will work in an 8X? The inside diameter of my 8X is 24.0 mm. If it fits, I'll be in for 1.

    Panasonic rechargeable battery charger $24 Costco

    Re: Panasonic rechargeable battery charger $24 Cos Not as far as I can tell. The display shows no activity. If I take them out of the charger 12 hours later they are room temperature. Not hot/warm.

    Panasonic rechargeable battery charger $24 Costco

    Re: Panasonic rechargeable battery charger $24 Cos The Costco pack I purchased has 8 2300 mAh AA batteries, and 2 780mAh batteries. At that price, use the Panasonic charger as a back up, and purchase the FS. I doubt it will be as good as the FS. The operating inststructions do not...

    shipped a flashlight to Streamlight? **UPDATE**

    Re: Have you shipped a flashlight to Streamlight? About a 18 months ago, I sent back a Stinger XT because the head wasn't tightly mated to the body and rattled slightly. They replaced the head. The process took 2-3 weeks.

    Stinger Batteries

    A non modified 3 cell battery pack works just fine in a Stinger XT. I charge the packs in a Surefire charger.

    Conjecture on what kind of LED is being used?

    This is a snip from an email list describing a new bike light. The cateye light described is not on their web site. Any ideas on what cateye is using? Improved bike lights were visible all around the show. But the most interesting one we found won't actually be on the market till the spring...

    Photovoltaic Array coming soon!

    Darell, When the install is completed, it would be interesting to have you summarize some of the problems that you had. (Darn long time getting the installation going). It only took 2 months to get the wife to buy into the idea of a PV array.
