A: No, this light is specifically intended for bicycle use only. 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. MITYCROSS Q: How does the MityCross compare with CygoLite’s other dual LED systems?
