So does anyone use one? They look good value, 390 lumens and 3 modes, 2hour 390l 3hour 250l 4hour 120l. £100
And what's the difference between the nimh version and the ion version, apart from size?

thanks,

I've got a Nimh version and its fine really. Had it about 2 years and its never let me down. Only problem is the shape of the beam and when you twist the front to change the spread of light its sort of a bit uneven. nimh takes a long time to charge too and is best on a timer so it doesn't get too much.

Now used as a helmet light or a spare to my hope Vision twin LED, which is better.

I'l sell you mine for £65 BTW.

I've had one for 3 years - really nice light and survived a couple of decent crashes. I used mine in conjunction with an Exposure Joystick which was a great lightweight combo.

I've upraded to LED's this year - but I'd definately recommend it at that price....

I've got a nimh version and it was great for the money [i]2 years ago.[/i] I suppose less so with the improvment in lights now, the rrp was only £150 2 or 3 years ago. The light comes out quite yellow compared to led's too. But I quite like that. The adjustable beam thingy doesn't really seem to make much of a difference but the helmet mount is good and velcro's on and off completely (you have to take a screwdriver to it to put it back on the bars though). Mine came with a trickle charger that takes 10 hours or so, and if i remember rightly the charger with the lithium one is faster. According to the website all L&M lights are 'backwards and forwards' compatible with each other so you can always use a different battery or head if one or the other dies.

I would definitely get another one at the right price, but I would probably continue shopping around rather than diving stright in and spending £100 on it.

[edit] but i would spend £65 on a second hand one^^!
