Niterider lights identification please

Won some lights NiteRider Pro Bicycle Light Accessories - shopgoodwill.com . They seem packed in their appropriate bags *shrug* but no paperwork. Could a knowledgeable guru I.D. the three lights for model and placement (handlebar/helmet)? Or at least point me to a website with the old equipment?

Thanks a plenty!

oh excellent, so you bought it! are there any logos or model #s you can look up to answer your initial questions? if any of the batteries aren't up to snuff you can probably buy replacements

I did a little research and Niterider seems to take pride in their battery packs being user serviceable, as well there being diy sites on making replacement packs. I think one site had a simple mod of a common batt pack, and another showed 11 AAA batteries being essentially soldered in series. Things I could do at home

1x single strap helmet mount
1x Jumper wire
1x "NR 1.5 Li-ion Charger" (no plug/cord to wall)
1x "NiteRider Ultra Capacity" bottle style battery pack (sticker on bottom indicates possible rebuild by Batteries Plus)

Black Pack:
1x model #35 Adapter "DC 7.5v 400 ma"
1x velcro strap

So, took a chance and looks like I made a generous donation to Goodwill for a 220 lumen Nite Owl, a Digital Head Trip and a 360 lumen Flight. Hoped for, but nothing better than the Cygolight Metro I have. NP, I'll consult with the Department of Redundancy department and see what use to put them to.

Alright, turns out upon a lot of research that there are two Head Trips, one Flight and lots of trimmings. After putting them on the Mini Brute charger, both HTs working well from the pocket and bottle NiMH packs. Attempting to get a rise out of the Flight batt pack with a 48 hr deep charge. Time will be up tomorrow noon. If I keep them, one HT will go on the helmet and the other on the handlebars as a backup to the Cygolite.
