I plan to start riding at night through the local forest, so need a decent front light that will provide sufficient beam for off-road riding, probably needs to last an hour or an hour and a half at a time.
I would like to spend under £100 - any recommendations and experiences gratefully received!
Many thanks in advance

Cloudnine, many thanks. I wasn't expecting 12 pages of review of the light, but I feel like I've done my homework now!

All in £57 not only a bargain but a super light with over 3hrs runtime on high.
