Some bits and pieces for sale, useful for anyone with a lumicycle battery, as my lumicycle battery & charger blew, so they are of no use to me. All prices include an estimated £2 postage - if you're wanting multiple things I can drop a couple of quid off.

£25 - Lumicycle compatible LED light unit
First thing, a 3 LED head unit that I hacked together, that runs off a lumicycle battery. It uses 3 Cree XR-E LEDs. It is not as neat and tidy as a proper lumicycle can, but it is jolly bright (in theory about 500 lumens - certainly brighter than my 20W halogen), only uses about 9W of power, and doesn't weigh much. It is a right old hack together job, but I did it pretty okay, and I've done hundreds of miles using it. It mounts easily to the lumicycle helmet mount I've got (see below), for bar mounting, you'd need to rig something up, I imagine it'd be okay. It also has a dimmer twisty thing, which I can't remember whether it works at the moment, but it'd be a pretty easy fix to make it work if you opened it up.
Basically, it's a dead cheap way to upgrade your lumicycle stuff to a decent LED head light. A light unit this bright would have cost you £250 last year, and it isn't massively less bright than this years £200 LEDs. It is cheap because it is a bit shonky, and very much a home made thing, no guarantees that it will keep working (although it has run fine for hundreds of miles, and if it doesn't work straight away you're welcome to send it back). The bonus of that is that it would be dead easy to upgrade to the latest LEDs if that is your thing, and the other components (LED driver, lens, box, connector, would probably cost you more than £25 in themselves.
£15 lumicycle rear light
This is the lumicycle rear light - it is very bright, and very neat and tidy. Best rear light I've ever used - it plugs into your lumicycle battery, and takes not very much power (I think runtime is 100 hours on a 4ah battery). The best thing I found about it is that you never get into that situation where your rear light battery gets a bit old and starts dimming, as your front lights would have gone out way before that.
£12 Lumicycle double helmet mount
The perfect companion to the LED light above, or to any lumicycle or compatible light. This is the original, double light helmet mount, that lets you mount two light units. It uses a big rubber strap, which looks quite agricultural, but is the quickest and most secure light mount I've used. You can also mount the lumicycle rear light on the back, which is neat, as it means all your lights come on and off your helmet at once. It includes a long extension/splitter lead for the lights.
