3.0 out of 5 stars Smart light, dumb charger., November 16, 2006

This review is from: Marwi Nightpro BULLITe Head Light - D23905F-R (Misc.)

The light output is very good for such a compact unit. It has a nice broad spread with a bright punchy beam in the middle. Lasts about 90mins on a charge. I use it for commuting, parts of which are in complete darkness. It makes me really visible in traffic. perhaps not enough light for downhill racing in absolute darkness, but plenty for cruising along dark back streets or dirt tracks at night.

However, I have a problem with the battery charger. NiMH batteries are easily damaged by overcharging ([...]). For such an expensive light (yes for a glorified torch it is expensive, but the convenience makes up for it) you'd expect a reasonably smart charger to prevent damage to your expensive batteries. They cost only a few $$ more to make than a dumb charger, but nope, you get a real dumb one. There is no info on how long to charge for, and the charger will simply keep going till it kills your battery if you forget it. Easily done if eg you drain it on your weekend riding, then plug it in, go to work, and notice it on Wednesday - by that time the thing is really hot to the touch, and has been for days. (oops).
