I am just about to buy a light and just wanted a few opinions:

1/ Hope Vision 1 (quite heavy I know but 240 lumen and 3hrs on max)

2/ Exposure Spark (nice & light/well built 220 lumens 2.5 hrs on max with disposables BUT only 1.5hrs on max on rechargeables)

3/ Niterider MiNewt mini USB 2011 model now 150 lumens (small & light 150 lumens on max and 3hrs onmax)

I have a bigger light so this is more for on road bike but also will be used for the odd off road.
Which is best?????

.

4/ Magicshine, aprox 600 lumens for 2.5Hrs all for the princely sum of £51

as z1ppy, no light comes even close for the money.

The Hope light is old old technology.

Get MagicShine cheaper from http://www.dealextreme.com just search for bike lights.

As above, I have recently bought a magicshine, very good for the money and already thinking of getting another one.
