The rechargeable aspect is the best part, just throw it in the charger after a shift and it's ready to go next time (I'll remove it after it's charged fully for 24 hours)
My only complaint would be that the durability of the bulb in the socket is less than ideal. A good whack against something hard tends to offset the bulb from the centre. I've tried spreading the prongs, which improved the stability of the bulb, but still isn't ideal.
I picked up a SL 20-XL LED and it tends to be more durable but less throw and wider spot.

It really makes it even more useful. try here: http://www.batterieswholesale.com/nimh.htm You'll want the
Industrial Fast Charge/Discharge Ni-MH's. I have a a stock stick and the Aero's so i don't have to deal with a dimm light ever.
Yeah, getting the bulb straight is pain, I am not sure about the newer ones, but my old MC even when set to spot has a LOT of spill, don't know why. Something my 2D won't do. VDG
