Which cheap lights are readily available, burn brighter than the sum and last forever?
Failing that, what can I pick up for less than £50 from somewhere like Deal Extreme than has a 2-3 hour burn time and will be as bright or brighter than the pair of 3 year old CREE Romisen torches I currently have strapped to my helmet.
The two torch approach works okay with about 1.5 hours per torch on CR123 rechargeables but if I run both torches together I don't get much of a ride and if I run them individually things get a bit sketchy when I speed up.
Not too worried about looks or branding as I don't care what other people think. Don't fancy my own home made lights after my last experience/fire.
I bought one of these as a headtorch - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13095
Very bright, not sure of burn time as I only switch it on for fast/sketchy stuff. Pretty tight beam, so really suited to head mounting. Simple on/off, no multi mode nonsene and only $13. Even with a couple of batteries and a charger it'd be about $30. Guess you could back it up with a brighter, more floody torch on the bars.
Alternatively - what about a Tiddler? [url= http://www.spokeshirts.co.uk/product.php?productid=16434&cat=0&page=1 ]Tiddler[/url]
Either the deal extreme bike light or a p7 led torch
Which deal e=Extreme bike light?
Burn time is what I am after and all the torches I look at seem to last about 1-1.5hours
