Hi was talking with my brother last night about these
https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25149
we were wondering if this
http://www.bonthronebikes.co.uk/899-462068
would allow you to mount the light on your helmet.

also is there any easy way of buying an uprated battery or connecting 2 batteries to make the light last longer?

thanks

I reckon the lupine mount should work, the edison 5 has essentially the same mounting.

Why would you want to connect two batteries together though?
If you carrying them anyway, what the problem with a 2 minute swap over?
Surely you can't ride non-stop for 6 hrs?

Don't buy anything from Bonthrone bikes though – seriously.

thx grumm was more about the "product" than the people 😉 evans sell them etc and will match bonthrone if you take a copy of the page. was more a "would it fit" question

zippy, if the light dies on the way back or at the end of the ride, i didn't want to be fumbling in my bag to swap the batteries.

more a case of prevention then an issue.. if u know what i mean

Yup I just like to point it out as much as possible after my experience with them.

BTW in my experience you would be better off with something smaller/lighter with more of a spot for your helmet, and use the big DX light which is more floody on the bars.

Will that extension cable work with the DX? can anyone confirm?

no, they use different sockets.

grumm i have a L&M that i could use for helmet and use the DX on the bars.
still would like a little more run time than 3 hours (by the time we ride to the local place and back 3 hours is close) hmmm…

FB I can understand the issue if the light dies quickly, but if it's anything like the P7 torches they don't die immediately, they start to fade away – so it's obvious it's time to change.
(Admittedly I don't have one, but am looking at ordering one this week, as I've mislaid a P7 torch)
Still seems a lot of hassle to go through, when 2.5 hrs into a ride you could just swap the battery anyway… but if it's what you want an email to smudge might be the best way to get a 'proper' answer, as to whether it's worthwhile/possible.

Mine cost £50 wtf do folk want, it works and works well.

Do a search on this forum

If you are not sure try Hope etc

thanks for your invaluable input to the thread!

cheers zippy sent one of to him.

As an aside I did find that it has a "Low Power Warning: low power red light warning "
