[#1138659]

Need a new light for night road rides and to supplement my off road MTB lamp when playing in the woods(MTB light won't fit on the road bike).

Anybody got experience of these?

Or any other suggestions?

I have a EL500 and did use that on the road at night but not enough in completely unlit areas really - I used it with a cheapish halogen light I had and together they were mostly OK. Not a lot of point adding to another light for off road use though unless your main light is really weak but in that case you'd probably want to replacement your main light.

I need a light for my road bike anyway. Off road I use a halogen NR Trail Rat which is OK for distance but puts very little light down right in front of the bike.

They're ok on the road, but not really for the woods.
