|   1st 24 Hrs of Moab--Nightrider questions (X post) | jimmy
Sep 19, 2003 4:17 AM | | The wife & I signed a team up. Yahoo. We have each a Nightrider Dig. Head trip ~ 3 yrs old with the old slow charger. The lights have worked great. I am trying to figure out the light situation. Since the bulbs are 3 yrs old should I change them out? Should I get a Microbrute charger? Do the neutral charging systems work OK & I won't lose my battery accidently? I know people who have gone with just a head mounted light like mine, but should we get another, like the H-bar mounted one or like the Storm?
Any advice appreciated. No responses to my post over in the other forum. |

I think we've had one battery go missing for a lap in the 4 times I've done the race - I've gotten into the habit of putting something on my batteries (in addition to the charging stations' label) so that when my battery gets lost in the shuffle at 4:00 am I can tell them what to look for. You should have a back up plan in case this happens. We have allways used nightrider systems so borrowing another riders' battery for a lap while someone on the team finds yours has worked out for us in the past.
I don't think you have to change out bulbs unless you have used your lights a lot over the past three years, but it is a good idea to have a spare. Maybe swap in one new bulb and keep your old one as spare. Changing the bulbs out requires some patience, so it would be a good thing to know how to do this ahead of time anyway.
I like a two light system, but haven't used a HID light. Seems most of the folks with a HID use just one light. |
