Thank Goodness for Redundancy

Of lighting systems, I mean. My standard setup is a Magicshine front light, and a Dinotte rear. I have a 2AA Cree torch as backup, and the on my helmet a single AA light (running a higher current Li-Ion battery instead), and a cheapo blinky on the back. Yesterday, I had to leave my Magicshine at home, pending cable repairs (it's a first-gen light). My outward journey was in daylight, so it was only getting on the bike outside Westminster City Hall that I realised the mount for the torch was on a different bike. Then, on arrival at Waterloo, I managed to lose the battery carrier on my Dinotte when disconnecting it (along with 4 brand new high quality rechargeable AAs). Thank goodness for my helmet lights, which got me home! Have lots of lights, people.
