Troutie, the SUGRU was/is absolutely FANTATIC… I used it extensively from insulating soldered wires, creating lead trunking, waterproofing the plug-lead junctions and ‘forging’ the mounting stubs….it’s totally awesome. What’s even better, it’s p1ss easy to remove; when dry, with a Stanley knife. OT: Found a thread re the trout thinking of leaving the light market….shame.

I think if I were buying another now it would be one of the better sealed versions of the P7 for a few pennies more… but I’m generally very happy with the purchase, I also have a 2 mode 1x18650 P7 torch for my helmet which is also very good for the money, I think it was about £25-ish and well worth the money IMO a cheap one on the bars would definitely be useable enough for me to ride dark single track with (perhaps not quite as fast as with the Bastid and a helmet light)… Northwind on "DX £50 lights - How are they lasting + Torch Recommendation." http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/dx-50-lights-how-are-they-lasting-torch-recommendation#post-2281179 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:21:48 +0000 Northwind 2281179@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ Usually you get the batteries and charger seperately.
