I'm wanting to go night trail riding but I can't afford to spend loads of money on lights. Can anyone recommend a decent cheaper set of lights or what decent second hand light I should be looking at?

New model with a better sealed battery. All the light you'll ever need. They also appear to have stock as I ordered one a couple of days ago and it shipped today...

Yes they do. I got a set last year. I only ride occaisionally at night but they are awesome! Get a p7 torch at the same time for your helmet or can be bar mounted.
Only problem is the delay as they are shipped from China.

Advertised 900 lumens but a real world extremely respectable 500-600 output.

Seem to be about as bright as a Hope 4 LED job from trail side comparisons. One is more than enough to ride with - that said I've just brought a second to mount on my head.

Used every week (bar the 5 weeks of summer when they're not needed) for night rides - have worked through wind, rain, and snow...
