Today my NiteRider TriNewt headlight was returned after being sent out for repair. NiteRider actually replaced the cable which had a short, replaced the switch, and sent a new helmet mount; all under warranty and free of charge. I was a bit surprised at the switch replacement, although in retrospect I had noticed that it felt a bit odd. I’d previously thought that I simply wasn’t familiar with its operation, but it turned out to be faulty as well.
As can be seen above it was also tested, with the battery illuminating the light for 3:16:00. I presume this to be on high, and this is plenty of time for my uses. Now I can get back to riding more at night. I’ve was loaned an HID which I’ve used from time to time, but being prone to fall damage and not being my light, I was hesitant to take it out very many places. Hopefully tomorrow evening when the weather is a bit nicer I’ll be able to head out for another ride.
