Haven't seen anything on TOP yet, but I keep looking.

Makes me glad my own ride was so uneventful, as I sit here, looking at the battery charger for my light, wondering how long it will take my Li-Ion battery to charge. The "Charge Me" light went on this morning, and I'm glad I started carting the charger with me in my pannier. I'd hate for it to go out on me on the ride home.

But I can't help but wonder if it's a sign of how good the battery is, or how little I use it (i.e., how little I ride) that this is only the second time this winter that I'm re-charging it. And this will probably be the last time...since by mid-February, I should be able to make do with the smaller "be seen" flashing light, and not my big Knog light.

7 - I started keeping my charger in my backpack because there were a few times that I forgot to charge my light in the evening and it went out on the morning commute. I think I leave earlier than you do so I'm really enjoying the extra daylight in the evening.

I rode in this morning, my first below freezing commute! On the way in my newest (and most $$) headlamp decided to fall off. When I went back for it I discovered that it had broken off of its mount I've already contacted customer service and they say they will replace it. I think I have enough other lights to get me home safely.

For my ride home I was able to lash the light to my bar using an extra lanyard I found in my desk

The part that lets you swivel the light to aim it is screwed to the bottom of the light; it broke off around the screw-in point. It also has a major crack along the body from where it hit the ground. On my lesser light the swivel is part of the mounting base. I hope this isn't a design flaw; nobody mentioned this as a problem in the reviews I read.

The light is all packed up and ready to send out.

btw my biggest issue this morning was the cold air making my eyes tear; how do you deal with this?
