I know this question has been asked a thousand times but my airbike p7 (from on one) has finally given up the ghost after 2.5 years (of nearly everyday use)

I now need a replacement bar mount light to team up with my ay ups i use on the helmet

I'd love to splash out loads on a luminous or troutie set up with some whopping lumens but i can't afford it.

I came across this on ebay (click for linky)

£80

which is supposedly 1000 lumens and uses 3 x CREE Q5 LEDs

Also this from the same guy

£100

which is a claimed 1200 lumens

From the pictures they look well made and he's got pics and comparisons on his blog

I'll send him and email and see what he says.

I suppose i've still got the housing and battery (although 2.5 years old)
