For me it is this!

It look like an expensive glow stick. Whats wrong with a normal back light.

I quite fancy some loopylights for that chavved-up nova effect

I'd like to see proper bike specific lights at a reasonable price for what is, in essence, a fancy torch.

Sounds like you are tight

If this is so much trouble why not go and buy a torch?

Why is there a market for MTB lights worth millions ?

probably nothing. I've got some cracking lights.

I am tight. I only use my lights during races and if I'm really desperate for a ride.

For what it's worth, I think people need look no further than these for decent lights- bright, long lasting and so light you don't know they're there.

Some tight people on here

what you mean pete is that the place is not full of dumabasses who waste money on torches?

All the gear and no idea pete36

LOL, I was hoping for a reaction and you are it.

Tell me this if torches would suffice why are there so many companies offering lights for mountainbikes

Exposure introducing an element of backward compatibility would be nice.

How cheap are you thinking? as for £50 or so I don't think you can beat these for the cash:
