My question is after my last trip my headlamp is dead. I am an avid mountain biker. When mountaineering I was thinking why couldn't I simple take my HID Niterider 900 lumes bike light? The battery has a cable so I could carry it in my jacket and keep it warm. It is a bit heavier than a normal headlamp but not by much. So, has anyone ever used a Niterider for this purpose? Anyone know if an HID light would be a bad choice for some reason? They use them in high end cars (the blue looking headlights). Thanks for the help in advance.
