I have a Magicshine mj808 from last year, its pretty good rated at 900lumens or there abouts. Good for the bar. I need one for the helmet.
Whats out their for around £100? and places to buy it from.
Idealy I want a self contained unit with a quality mount.
thanks
Can I suggest either a MJ872 for £89 off ebay or a XML unit from £45-69.
The MJ872 would be better on your bars, as it is a largish head unit and lots a very floody spread of light, moving the Mj-808 to your helmet.
Or an XML on your helmet, as they have a great reach with there more centered beam.
EDIT: Just seen your "all in one" comment... hmmm an XML torch then, would mean swapping the battery out on longer rides (dependant on how you use the light levels) & maybe an exposure helmet mount (2fish lock block work fine but I wouldn't describe them as quality).
Take a look at [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/helmet-light-from-dx-%e2%80%93-exposure-joystick-sort-of ]this[/url] thread, noting stoners [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/ebay-cree-xml-20-torch-out-of-the-box-pics-review ]thread[/url] linked off it (don't be put off by the low price, I rode with the original p7 versions & it was great).
As above the 808 works well as a helmet light especially when combined with a thermonuclear 872 on the bars.
Can easily ziptie the 808 battery to your crash helmet
808 battery is very heavy -It will not be hanging off the helmet.
Thanks z1ppy will take a look.
I use an 808 on the helmet - $2 extension lead with the battery in my back pocket and the included helmet mount. Top banana.
