Can anyone recommend a powerful front light that does`nt break the bank,i have a cateye opticube at the moment,but cars still seem to want to pull out on me.I could probably spend up to about £100ish at a push.

The [url=http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30864]DealExtreme[/url] light is excellent but there may be a bit of a wait as they come from Hong Kong and have been in demand of late. Expect 2 - 3 weeks for delivery.

This [url=http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Hope_Vision_1_LED_Front_Light_2009/5360035056/]Hope[/url] light is also very good and you'd get that next day from Wiggle. A bit more expensive but not much and you don't need the extra power of the DX light really unless you are offroad, the Hope is good enough for unlit roads unless you are going to ride like a nutter down a descent with it or nail along an unlit dodgy surface.

The light has not yet been invented that will prevent drivers pulling out in front of you. (And then saying "Sorry mate, didn't see you".)

If you cannot wait 2-3 weeks but still want the Magicshine P7 you can occassionally get them on eBay.
