New Light System Questions

TRIDENX LED

Q: Can the TridenX be mounted on the helmet?

A: Yes, the TridenX can be used as a helmet light since the system includes both helmet and handlebar mounts.

Q: Are the TridenX NiMH battery and Li-Ion interchangeable?

A: No, if you have the TridenX Li-Ion you can only use the Li-Ion battery. This is the same for the TridenX NiMH; it can only use the NiMH battery.

Q: What is the difference between the TridenX Li-Ion and TridenX NiMH?

A: The brightness and functions are the same for both lights, the only difference is the battery, the Li-Ion battery is smaller / lighter, straps to the stem and lasts up to 12 hours, while the NiMH battery is larger / heavier, straps to the frame and lasts up to 18 hours.

Q: What is the difference between the TridenX Li-Ion and TridenX Li-Ion Xtra?

A: The only difference between the two lights is the battery. The TridenX Li-Ion has slim stem mount Li-Ion battery that lasts 2.5 hour to 12 hours, while the TridenX Li-Ion Xtra comes with a slightly larger frame mount Li-Ion battery which lasts twice as long (5 hours to 24 hours).

Q: Are the TridenX Li-Ion battery and TridenX Li-Ion battery interchangeable?

A: Yes, these Li-Ion batteries are interchangeable, if you have the slim Li-Ion battery you can use the larger Li-Ion Xtra battery for extra run time, and if you have the Li-Ion Xtra system you can use the smaller Li-Ion battery.

Q: If I have the TridenX Li-Ion and I want to use the TridenX Li-Ion Xtra battery, will I need a new charger?

A: No, the TridenX Li-Ion battery charger will charge the TridenX Li-Ion battery and vise versa.

DUALCROSS PRO

Q: What is the difference between the DualCross series introduced in 2006 and the DualCross Pro introduced in 2007?

A: The DualCross Pro series uses newer 3^rd generation High-Brightness LEDs making them much brighter than the standard DualCross systems. In addition, the DualCross Pros have nearly double the run time on the lower brightness settings.

Q: Can the DualCross Pro be mounted on the helmet?

A: Yes, the DualCross Pro can be used as a helmet light and the helmet mount kit is sold separately.

Q: Are the DualCross Pro NiMH battery and Li-Ion interchangeable?

A: No, if you have the DualCross Pro Li-Ion you can only use the Li-Ion battery. This is the same for the DualCross Pro NiMH.

Q: What is the difference between the DualCross Pro Li-Ion and DualCross Pro NiMH?

A: the brightness and functions are the same for both lights, the only difference is the battery, the Li-Ion battery is smaller, straps to the stem and lasts up to 17 hours, while the NiMH battery is larger, straps to the frame and lasts up to 18 hours.

Q: Will the chargers on the old DualCross series work on the DualCross Pro series?

A: Yes, chargers that came with the DualCross 200 and DualCross 300 will work with the DualCross Pro NiMH. Chargers that came with the DualCross Li-Ion will work with DualCross Pro Li-Ion.

ROVER II LED

Q: What is the difference between the Rover II LEDs and the old Night Rover series?

A: The Rover II LED series uses 3^rd generation High-Brightness LEDs instead of standard halogen bulbs making them much brighter. In addition, the Rover II LEDs have more modes (4 to 6 modes total) and a lighter water bottle battery.

Q: Can the Rover II LED be mounted on the helmet?

A: Yes, the Rover II LED series can be used as a helmet light and the helmet mount kit is sold separately.

Q: Can the old Night Rover water bottle batteries work with the Rover II LED headlights?

A: No, even though the old Night Rovers and the Rover II LED systems use NiMH water bottle batteries, the voltages are different, so the old Night Rovers should not be used on the Rover II LED systems or damage may occur.

Q: What is the difference between the Rover II LED Xtra and the Rover II LED?

A: The brightness of the two systems are equal but, the Rover II LED Xtra has 2 more modes (total of 6 modes) and a rapid charger while the Rover II LED has 4 modes and an overnight charger.
