A few years ago when I first got a set of magic shine lights it was easy as Deal Extreme only had a few to choose from.
But now there are bloody hundreds to choose from on DX. Had anyone got any idea which Magicshine now offers the best performance/value?

M8 has a Inton U2 clone (though it came out first) of the MJ-880 as a bar light it's brilliant, hugely bright & loads of spread. It's also lump of metal & a half (good heat sink though), no way it could go on your head. He bought it for £130 early 2012, so no way I rush to spend £165 odd it on for as the MJ-880.
