Was out a quick run tonight round one of my local trails and by the time it got to the back of 8 it was pitch black. Queue time to buy a set of lights. Has anyone got any that they would recomend? £150 max spend for the front light alone. A cheap cats eye from Halfrauds should do the rear. I had a look at these. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=207165
what you all think or is there anything better out there??
Is the DX light this Years Tesco torch ?
I got one of those from the on one website and use it off road every week at least. Wide beam, v bright indeed, good battery run time. Still running ok after a year if that means anything.
Needed to mess about with a bit of inner tube to stop it wobbling about a bit on the clamp but that was no big deal.
All you need is this thread and email Richard for a great deal

Hopes look a bit out of my price range Ithink. Not sure if the vision 1 would be good enough and even the vision 2 at £175 is only putting out 300 Lumens compared to the 600+ that the AirBike is pushing out. From what I have read the newest version of this is up to 800 Lumens, which is verging on what the Vision 4 is putting out at nearly £300. Thanks for the Link but.
Thanks for your input snowslave. How are they in the wet? I am assuming they are well enough sealed.

Trust me, email him for a price!
You will get a very good deal!
Cool. I've just dropped him an email.
DX P7 torches or bikelight are hard to beat for the money are they not? £35 for torch and battery or £50 for the bike specific light. claimed 900 lumen but real maybe 600. Mind you most led light manufacturers overstate somewhat
I ride irrespective of weather all year round, no probs in rain so far, fingers crossed. Or even due to them being on the bars on top of my car when I drive in the rain come to think about it.
Like I say, worst thing about them is the cheapo handlebar bracket attachment thingy - it lets the light wobble about when you go over rocks etc. Stopped that with a bit of inner tube between the light and the bracket it bolts on to. The Korean translated instructions are quite good for comedy value too.
Lot of mates are using the P7 torches TandemJeremy is talking about. They seem pretty good for the cash too.
