[Closed] ANOTHER light thread

Hmmmmmm

I just bought one. If it fails, I'll still have the housing, clamp and headtorch bit. Free postage too.

Was looking at [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3x-CREE-2400-Lumens-XM-L-T6-LED-2x-XPE-R2-LED-Bike-Bicycle-Light-6400mAh-/300604034468?_trksid=p4012.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D8%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4336461246387673125 ]this[/url] earlier, but fugly and no head mount.

and twice as expensive

and half as cheap

Has anyone got one of these T6's and a MS MJ872?

How do they compare?....Would 2 of these be as good as the MJ872 costing £90 or is the MJ872 by far the better light?

Let us know what it's like!
I keep looking at the Exposure Joysticks, but £140 for a torch! 😐

the battery life will be shortish i reckon - 90mins max??

Or wait until this hits our shores -

Looks great Tonolina , but all those wires and bulk. That's probably why I'm drifting towards the Exposures!

I was looking at this blokes stuff earlier

He sells lights on ebay, offers a pretty good looking guarantee too.

His Fluxient XM-L T6 caught my eye but non for sale right now

Looks like the cheap one off of deal extreme. I have had two of them fail on me. Nothing major just one of the wires off of the board has come off. Sorted within a couple of minutes with a soldering iron. Run time is around 3.5 hours and the beam is very tight but there are lenses on eBay that can be had for a couple of quid that will spread the light out nicely.

Can't moan at that price.

I should add that I have been running mine pretty much every day for the last couple of months and apart from a dodgy connection the thing has been faultless.

Arrived in 2 weeks and I've used it once.
Ideal as a cheap commuter light - throws a narrow pool of light far enough to ride quickly, with a much dimmer halo.
Not much good as an off road light, as beam is too tight.
Comes with free flashing valve caps which are great for being seen - as is the flashing mode.
Batteries are small and so far lasted 1hr 20 - still bright and I didn't charge before use. Will use it again tomorrow and see how long it lasts.
Bargain, but I'm going to upgrade to a triple XPG in an old lumicycle can once the bits arrive - the battery is easier to charge, mount etc.

[Internal wiring applies the high efficient booster circuit, working voltage is wide and can utilize the batteries in the largest extent.]

Sounds good to me! 🙂
