I know its been done to death but I would like to start riding in the evening and need some lights. Can't really afford anything too expensive so this is my choice:

C and b seen:

or

7 day shop

Anyone have any thoughts on either of these?

The C and B Seen light is very good.

Well made body and now they offer a weatherproofed battery too

I have one of these. Really very good for the money.

I'll get another for my helmet come the winter. Been running it on the lower setting most of the time, as the brightest was too bright even for this dark winter.

make sure you get a lens diffuser, they have a massive concentration of light in the centre, the diffuser film distributes is evenly

Thanks for your replies! Very helpful. Sounds like a diffuser is a must.

Just to let you know there can be a problem with getting the batteries posted with them, no idea why but it happened to my mate.
