Evening all, nights drawing in and all that and I'm looking for a cheap light as a back up/helmet light for my commute, currently running a Hope Vision1 and it's good, thinking of putting something on my helmet as a back up/spare

What are your thoughts on[url= http://eud.dx.com/product/e17-cree-xm-l-t6-900lm-5-mode-memory-white-led-zoomable-flashlight-w-bike-mount-black-844337870#.VFqKEYjfWrV ]this?[/url]

Or is there anything similar, just looking for a cheap,back up option really

Cheers all in advance

I have one of those ultrafire jobbies as well. Cracking light for the money. I use mine for night riding and it is proper bright.

Great for the money.. you can probably get them cheaper too if you can wait for a HK / china delivery. Its really light too so dont notice it on your helmet.
Was just thinking about ordering another to carry as a backup for my solarstorm

Edit.. £3.99 from HK

Maybe I'll order another at a later date, which exposure bracket does it fit, is it the joystick one?

Looks pretty appropriate- I'm using one of my old P7 torches that I used to use for mtbing, perfect really.

I was recommended the one in the first link on a thread I started. Its a great light for the money. I find its a little loose in an exposure joystick bar mount, but fits perfectly in the helmet mount.
