Having owned Lumi's for years, if I was in the market for a new set of lights, I doubt I'd even look at anything else. An absolute quality piece of kit, Built to last, and their customer service is second to none

I got one of the dealextreme lights for commuting at the beginning of winter, it's probably not better than what you're linking too, but at £35 delivered you could have 2 or 3 1200 lumens lights. I'm more than happy with the quality of mine,

thanks guys used lumis myself for years so leaning towards another set, keep my old hids on the bars, just didn't want to buy and then discover something better

Cheers Darryl but ride a lot at night and mates have had mixed experiences with those... and I like buying stuff with bombproof warrantys 😀

you could probably have an Exposure Maxx D for that money - self contained, better 3hr output (debatable as at 1285 lumens in between the Lumi 2 and 4 hr figs) and every bit as good a reputation/build/warranty.

Have a look at Troutie's sale page:

Trout mini for £180 or a Darkness Dominator for just a bit over budget!

Try having a look at Ay Up lights...

I got the V4 adventure kit which is a bit more, but the good thing is that you can buy all the bits individually. That kit includes two sets of lights so is actually pretty good value.

http://www.ayup-lights.com/systems/lighting-systems/v4-adventure/

They sell direct and I've been really happy with them. My friends also seem impressed, one bought a set after them and the others with Exposure lights say they're as bright if not more so....

I love my Ay Up V4s!

Take a hard look at them; a lot of things that are extra cost accessories with other brands are included in the Ay Up set. Things like:

- 3 batteries; 2 small (2-3hr), 1 large (4-6hr)
- a 12V adapter that lets you charge the batteries in your car
- one helmet and two bar mounts
- a headband mount (good for camping, running, etc.)
- red caps that let you use one as a very bright blinking taillight
- choice of beam patterns
- choice of color for the light body

I'd go for Troutie because of his outstanding customer support; always a plus for me with any product...and quite rare these days.
