I've been riding Lumi's for a while but thinking of investing in some new lights.

I need a decent headlamp and a nice flood mounted on the bars, for fast offroad and some 24hr racing.

What do teh STW massive recommend?

Quite a few on the Newforce thursday nighters use [url= http://www.ayuplights.co.uk/ ]Ayups[/url]. Small, light, bright, good run times and wont break the bank. Also excellent warranty, customer service and spares.

'Spect one of them will let you have a play with theirs if you ask nicely ;o)

How much money have you got to spend The team I supported at strathpuffer had a variety of Nightrider lights on loan from 2 pure and I was very impressed with them I haven't seen all lights but they are the best I have seen. At a cost tho.

P7 torches are seriously bright - and at the price they are an utter bargain.

for 24hr racing the exposure range would be best suited.

Got myself one these [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12000 ]Brackets[/url] and one of these [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15335 ]Torches[/url]. Picked up a charger and a couple of batteries from ebay, all for under £30.

The torch is surprisingly small, so much so I thought they'd sent the wrong one when I saw the packet it came in.

Makes a great helmet light, and hardly noticeable when riding. I'm thinking about getting another set so I can put both on the helmet.

My friend got a set of Ayup's and they are great lights. The set is awesome with all the fittings and the extended battery life, but I can't afford that sort of money for the amount of night riding I do.

If you feel like heating up your soldering iron, check out some of the extreme lights on [url= http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1755372 ]Candlepower Forum[/url].
