Second the battery/flimsy strap setup comment. I envy mates' neat little Lupine battery packs when I'm having to run the long length of cable to the battery flapping around under the top tube. Scratched the top tube too ๐Ÿ˜ก Why do I have to run the long cable? Because the damn battery won't fit under my short stem. Pants. Apart from that the light is great.

Quick question - all the pics I've seen have a rubber coated battery, yet mine is hard plastic. Is this a new, or old design?

Ta.

I immediately replaced the strap with a webbing one with a spring clamp

First ride last night on the Stanage loop and I'm impressed.

When I first turned it on riding over Houndkirk moor however, I wasn't blown away. It obviously lit the trail up, but there was no defined point of light on the ground and I still seemed to be riding in the shadows of the Lumi halogens around me that most of my mates are still running.

When the light really dropped though it came into it's own. Because of the lense being quite floody you still don't see a defined spot of light, but that doesn't matter, because wherever you need to look, there's just light - no rings, no spots, just even light and plenty of it with a huge peripheral spread. The colour of the light is nice too. No blue starkness of some LED's, yet a much nicer, whiter light than the yellow halogens. I'd recommend it highly to anyone (apart from Trouty ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
