Another Gloworm X2 and X1 user here. Great lights, great backup, warranty, top quality battery, electronics and waterproofing.
If you can afford £150 on lights, buy some Gloworms.
I you can’t, buy the quality Magicshine lights, the mj880u is a good example.
If you want an all in one package, with no cables, go for exposure. The Maxx-d is a good trail and all round light. The Toro, with 3x xpgs is a tighter beam and excellent for use on the road.
Exposure are at a premium, but are a UK company. The beam and build quality is the same as Gloworm, just differently packaged. (The electronics inside the X2 are excellent).
One day I’ll draw a flowchart for this, but some good questions you need to think about….
Do I want the light to be working, and warrantied for 2+ years?
Do I want an all in one unit?
Do I want to buy UK made?
Do I want to buy UK sold?
Do I care about battery life? I.e. do I charge and discharge my batteries a lot?
Do I need a specific beam pattern? I.e. tight, or floody?
You can buy something like the Solarstorm, for £35, then buy a battery and charger that won’t explode, but you’d be better off buying something with a decent warranty, high quality cells, sealing, heat regulation and backup.
