[OrRando] Lighting

[fitzbase at comcast.net]

well, as long as Cecil is asking, I'll add in my question...  Has anyone tried the LED lights?  How do they compare to the halogen lights?

For reference, my current lighting is a NiteRider MiNewt, which I run at low when doing night rides.  I can see quite well with it, but the battery is only good for 6 hours, so I'm looking at a generator as well.

Cheers,
Lynne F
