replacing bulb in abs-20n

I have used a sigma rechargeable with its original 5w light or a 2.4 w
bulb which gives light for twice as long.A 2.4 w bulb should be easy to
find at city cycle shops.5w bulbs might be harder to get.By post the
p&p makes them expensive.
StJohnStreet cycles do bulbs.

I just bought a Cateye ABS-20N. The lights are great but only last
about 2.5 hours. To get me to work and back without carrying the
charger, I really need about another half hour. Can I simply replace
one of the bulbs with a lower power version and use that in the
lit areas of my ride? At the moment they are 10W wide and 10W spot.

You can use any bulb as long as it the same voltage. Put the lower
power bulb in the wide (so other people can see you). Use the wide
only on road (lit).

Aim to have at least half hour charge left in the battery when you get
home as the battery will degenerate. And do not overcharge the battery.

I was planning in putting it in the wide as I don't use it much. On
unlit roads there's certainly no problem with seeing me with the spot.

Didn't know either of those cheers. I actually charge it at work and
the green light on the charge comes on shortly before it's time to go
home which helps me to stop overcharging.

Thanks,
