It’s that time of year again…
I’m looking for something to replace my solarstorm light, and would like to get rid of the external battery pack.

Does anyone have any experience of the cree helmet mounted lights, something like this?

I’ve also looked at the exposure joystick, but if the cheap versions are as good I’d rather save the money…

The only problem I’ve had with my joystick is that they keep on bringing out brighter versions , tempting me to upgrade!

Weight is a really key factor with a helmet light, I did try a Hope 1 and it was really offputting, but barely notice the joystick. Also makes for a great emergency light for the road bike – put it in the back pocket on the off-chance you might end up later than planned.
