No probs, I'll let you know about the light when it lands.

I'll PM you later...

I've got the LIon version of the ebay one above. Its nice and bright. The focusing feels a bit loose so might move if shaken too much. On the narrowest setting it throws a very long way and the spot is blinding.

Would these be brighter than last years "must have" Tesco torch?

I've just bought one!

Looking good so far. Decent build quality, looks at least vaguely water resistant and 3 year warranty.

It produces a tight, long distance spot beam but obviously it's yet to be tested at night. Seems like an ideal compliment to my bar mount P7 thing, and you can't really go far wrong for a tenner...

Bought a couple. Bright but not spectacular (132 lumenish seems fair). But like a brick outhouse, but hefty. You won't be putting two on your helmet, but one might be fine.
