So, the birthday fairy was more generous than usual, and I have £100-ish to spend. And my ageing Lumicycle halogen lights are looking a bit dull and heavy compared to what's out there now.

A mate has an AirBike light from On One which emits plenty of light for the kind of riding we do. Then a quick trawl of ebay turned up these:

[url] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10W-SSC-P7-LED-900-LUMENS-BIKE-CYCLE-LIGHT-V-POWERFUL-/150429521475?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Cycling_Bike_Lights&hash=item23064c5643 [/url]

Which made me wonder what else might be out there for around the £100 mark?

Any suggestions?

These are great value, dont know what delivery times are like now. I believe they make a helmet mounted version too.

Just make sure anything from ebay with handlebar brackets fit 31.8mm bars before you order-it makes for lots of faffing around after you bouy them if they are only made for small diameter bars.

I'd seen the Hope ones, they were on my possibles list to. And I only have this bars on the MTB anyway!

Will have a look at Deal Extreme - presumably quicker delivery in the summer now the busiest time has gone?

+3 for 2x magicshine units (on one but half the price)

At this price, if despite knowing about the Dealextreme options you buy anything else, you're most likely an idiot tbh.

2x deal extreme ones for me too. Now one on the bike and one on my helmet. Delivery can take a month. If you want to order from the UK and get the same thing but with a 3pin UK plug you can try [url= http://www.magicshineuk.co.uk/magicshine-bike-light-set-mj-808.php?item=1&s=2 ]here.[/url] It'll cost £80 each though.
