Any idea is these "lamp units" com with charger and mounts?
probably mount, but I doubt a charger
Just the head unit and mount
They do this sale this time each year.
Alas, my riding in the dark has been curtailed, so I'll avoid looking.
Lamp units = lamp + mount only. Buy the charger separately.

Could I use this battery with my old 13.2 halogen system, converted to led by your method, vortex?.
Yip you sure can.
Might be able to help out with a driver and LED if you have not already got them.
I've already converted, Vortex, when the big long thread was running. Will the driver I have in there just now be ok going from the 13.2 to the 14.8?
he converted mine and i can use either the Nimh or the Li-ion ones with it - I assume you have the same driver but he will know for sure I assume.
yip if it's the driver of Blackcat off Ebay it will work with no probs.
Thats the same battery i used.
You will need another charger though. your Nimh charger won't work with Li-Ion batteries
Or at least I don't think it will. Smudge as well as Lumi will clarify if I'm right or not about the charger.
and Junkyards right both batteries will work. The li-ion will be lighter and run longer
Oooh, I'm in need of a new battery or my venerable lumicycles, but I am pretty sure that I'll neds a new charger for the li-ion battery linked to above, is that right? My current batteries are all NiMH, I think
ah, that answer posted while I was typing answers my question
and I suppose also that running a bigger battery might fry my halogen lights 🙁
yes different chargers. I have never tried to use the wrong one but the rated voltage is different so I would not expect much - li ion is higher
4 hours + using your kit and the little battery still going but never done a longer night ride [ I have but i take the bigger battery]
