I've got a Fox Flux helmet.
I want to get one of those cheapo DX high lumen torches to use as a head torch for trying out night riding on local tracks/bridleways. I'm thinking of pairing it with a smudge light on the handlebars.
Can anyone recommend me a headtorch, battery, attachment combo for not too much money? If I don't get on with night-rides, I can just use it as a good torch and pretend I'm in an episode of CSI Yorkshire
cheers
See this previous [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/a-which-lights-thread#post-3005877 ]thread[/url]. My new head trch is there and I'm quite pleased with it. Just waiting on a light similar to Smudge's to arrive from DX
cheers Taff
did you just get the torch or did you get batteries and helmet attachment
as well?
Got some senybor 2400 batteries and a UK plug charger from ebayseller. As for a mount I tried an old pump mount but found two thick elastic bands were much better
Attaching things to a Flux is a bugger, by the way- all those curves. I gave up on my mounts and went with a big blob of blutack and a load of rubber bands. Quality.
what 'nealy' suggested in that thread you linked will be good. i got a 'yezl' torch. that also rocks. both will knock a hope vision one into a cocked hat for the money, then stomp all over it's lardy arse, and shag it's bird.
fwiw i bought the yezl, 2 off 18650 li-ion cells, and a charger for ~ 40quid. turned up in about 5 working days.
either of those torches will probably fit the exposure joystick helmet mount, should your creativity fail you in mounting to your lid ( it's been confirmed that the yezl definitely will ).
check my forum activity for links to the yezl torch, or at least, links to a thread i learned about them on. 😀
