I’m sometimes concerned about stuff I buy for cheap, especially on the internets. You never know if the folks you buy it from are reputable or not. I felt pretty confident about my purchase of a Nite Hawk bike headlight last year though from my LBS (local bike shop.) It was on a huge discount (about what it would be on line) and I could see why. It was the last one, in fact, there were only two lights from that maker left in the shop. So I guessed the shop had decided to stop carrying the brand. Then I noticed that the light’s battery had 0103 stamped on the side, which I took to mean the date it was churned out at the factory. That’s OK, it’s old, but it still worked fine. It’s not as bright as I’d like, and it doesn’t have a helmet mount though. So I thought I would place a call to the manufacturer and see if I could buy a brighter light (or just a brighter bulb) and a helmet mount. In their FAQ<\/a>, they listed a 1-888 number. Today I finally found a spare minute and called them, but the other side of the line didn’t pick up saying “Nite Hawk Lighting, how may I help you?”<\/p>\n
