I have 2 sets of Vistalight Nightstick code 15 and while I'm happy with their performance I'm dissapointed with the batteries.

Using the 5 watt headlight alone will drain the battery in less than one hour.

I have never had anything but problems with my vistalites. I got a kit with 25watt lights with NiMh battery a couple of years ago and stopped using them after 12 months.
the battery is hard to charge. If you don't get the cable in just right then it wont charge and it falls out as there is no positive connection to hold it in place.

the lights have never worked very well, even though they have been replace under warrenty twice. The cable has never connect into the lights very well and quite often needs to be spun to get the light to work.

There are far better lights out on the market these days for a lot less.

I have the Light & Motion Solo Mv and this is a fantastic light. Can be switched between 7w, 10w and 13w. Can adjust to either spot or flood light. Battery in Lithium-Ion so light and running times are very good. I think 3hrs on 10w setting. Rapid charging in around 1 hour.
