Take a back up just incase! If its Chinese take a back up to replace the Chinese back up.

Welcome to the dark side. Love night riding. It always feels faster than daylight, plus there is the benefit of empty trails.

I'm not on here that much am I? Could never justify the cost of the lights and always thought you needed to spend
£££'s to get anything decent! How wrong was I!

Mazin innit. I remember the buzz after my first night ride. Which lights did you use by the way, thinking of going oriental myself?

Just the Cree XML t6. You can get it for 18 ish quid if you wait for the delivery, but I plumped for a uk supplier at 30 quid! I think the terminology is that it has a bit of a hot spot and doesn't throw out that much wide light. However compared it directly next to a mates new magic shine (80 quid) tonight and there doesn't seem to be any difference!

Might take a punt. Currently using Hope Vision 4's which are excellent, but i have been riding in my own shadow a few times recently when followed by mates with cheaper lights.
