I need a front light that will allow me to ride on country lanes when dark without me crashing and dying. I have a budget of about £100. What are my best options???
Thanks
If you truly want budget a P7 from Deal extreme or similar off ebay. If you want a bit posher and can squeexe a bit more out your budget an Exposure Joystick Maxx (perhaps second hand) they are ace-and my recommendations just happen to be what I run-two p7's on bars and Joystick on helmet.
i do like a joystick but will one be enough for general road riding in the dark?
how long with the battery on a joystick last? does the white eye thing use loads of battery? and is there aplug in battery pack that can be used?
thanks for any help once again
The 2xAA 230/240/250 lumen lights form deal extreme along with 2x rechargeable AA's from vapextech will last 2 hours and a bit and are more than enough to see by.
If you really need more than that the magicshine (same P7 LED as the torches) is pretty unbeatable for £50 and lasts ages on the dipped beam (about 300lumen) or longer than my stamina on full beam (claimed 900 lumen).
Hope Vision 1 will do the trick.
A cheap P7 torch from DX is more than enough to ride off road at a reasonable pace. I bought two, and now an XPG as well as a lighter light on the helmet. Used all three at once on Friday night and that was PLENTY of light! If you can wait for slow delivery I'd get a P7 and be done with it.
