Marty Goodman MD KC6YKC writes: NiteRider’s 6 volt bulbs ARE interchangeable with the 6 volt bulbs used in the VistaLite VL5xx series. BUT, you must first remove the metal heat reflector that’s added to the bulb and glued to it on NiteRider MR11 bulbs. Similarly, to use a VistaLite VL5xx bulb in a 6 volt NiteRider system, you need to get such a heat reflector (from a dead NiteRider bulb) and glue that to the bulb with silicone sealant. Be sure NOT to use a 6 volt VistaLite bulb in a 12 volt (13.2 volt) NiteRider system!
