<aussieaccent> LET THERE BE LIGHT </aussieaccent>
Got some last years ones, so different LED=not so bright I think but runtime was excellent. Rode straight through the night doing the Sustrans C2C in one go last year. Turning head torch on and off as required but basically leaving bike light on all the time used one 6 hour battery on the bike light and one 3 hour on the helmet light. Still had a spare 3 hour in my pack that I never used.
At the end of the advertised runtime they just get a little dimmer, slowly apparently but I have never managed to get them run that low.
(got the MTB kit so 2 lights and lots of bits).
yeh i bought them 2nd hand and they are last yrs but only used once aparantly, they are good as new like, ive just got the set for the bars, would love a spot to match for the helmet like you have.
agreed, yet to run the battery all the way down (outside of solo's, don't need 6hr burntime as I can go home and charge them).
There are no brighter etc but they are great for what I do, I don't feel I need anymore than this. I tend to use the two 3hrs batteries so I have a smaller one on the bars too.
I am more than happy and down here in Aus, there are an awful lot of them around - not sure how you could beat the value you get with them without building your own.
Would love a set of roadie ones.
How many lumens are they rated at?
thats all good willy but do you have a bike yet ? if so the neeps are riding craibstone/elrick/kirkhill a week today - up for it ? Ill drop you a text when i get back to uk
I got some last year and love 'em. I end up using them for walking the dog (head torch attachemnt) more than anything else right now. Police helicopter did an extra lap the other night trying to work out what on earth I was!
They're not [i]that[/i] bright - an additional light is needed offroad, but they are a great little design. And great for commuting.
With one on the bars and one on the helmet, I dont think you need anymore?! I love them.
I love mine.
They put out plenty enough light with a medium on the bars and spot on the lid.
They're so damn small and cute, weigh absolutely nothing and last for 6 hours!
Best looking light by a looooong way.
