[quote="marco"]While you are in there have a look for some sort of torch thing they are doing for a tenner - its got the same LEDs as bike lights costing around £100 . Tape them to your bars or helmet and bobs your uncle - heavy duty lighting system for next to no money. especially if you put rechargable batteries in.
discussion on them here
http://www.aditnow.co.uk/community/view ... px?p=25749I know an mtb forum was talking about these lights.
I went to check them out a few weeks ago and they're not that impressive.
It's got a Cree LED but I don't know what generation Cree it is or what bin number.
The bottom line is that you'd need 3 or 4 of these lights to make them adequate for trail riding or road riding on unlit roads.
By far the best bet is is one of these for £40: FENIX LD20 PREMIUM LED TORCH

At night, it's like a car headlight on unlit roads, and all from 2 AA batteries.
