No, that's the set with charger and batteries. There's only one version of the V1.

Yes, but the light's the same.....

It's a bit more complicated than that...
I know it's too late for the OP, but if anyone else is only doing one night ride, don't look much further than this:

At a fiver (the price I paid) they're a bargain. At two quid - get half a dozen. They're not really bike lights because the beam isn't shaped to illuminate the road rather than the world, but they're extremely bright and with a handful of AAA batteries will last several nights.
If you're doing a number of rides, of course, then the only sensible way to go is with a dynamo hub.

Even cheaper, at £1.50 a pop.

As Stu says, it is the same light, but the charger and AA batteries are add-ons. If you scroll through the Evans photos, you will see the charger and batteries.
So if anyone else is after a decent light for the DD then it's the Winstanley site to buy from.

Are you sure? For the price of one Hope light you could get 38 lights from 7-day-shop. The light source is identical - a 3-watt Cree LED. The only difference is that Hope chuck in a bit of bent metal which directs the beam.

Have you got some spare battery holders? Makes changing batteries a doddle.

A good price for sure, though i would prefer to use a better charger than that?
By the way, does anyone know if the Vision 1 is about to be upgraded or (hope not) discontinued? As there seem to be some serious offers around. Wouldn't be overly surprised if it was the latter possibility - trend of cycling companies getting rid of perfectly good stuff to upsell us all.

Yes it is of course. Runs on both normal and rechargeable. Most folks run on rechargeables as it sucks batteries (not a criticism).
So the ultimate DD lighting system seems to be:
A Hope Vision 1 light
With the rechargeable batteries and charger
With a spare (or 2) battery holder, pre-loaded with a set of batteries of your choice (rechargeables or conventional AA's)
A set of spare batteries as back up

Not sure if this has been answered, but yes you can.
Edit: but I see that this is moot.

And the aforementioned smart light.
