C and be seen have 4×18650 packs for less than £20.
There stuff seems to be the best of the Chinese stuff from a UK seller so considering them for a slightly Higher price than eBay stuff for my first ‘proper’ lights

Wow, that’s small..

I ordered some, too, last week. I’m used to riding with cheap Chinese lumens.

As long as they’re slightly more powerful and burn for slightly longer than my current cheap Chinese lumens (400 of the bad boys), I don’t really care. 🙂

PS: Tidy desks are for losers!

You can see the desk. That makes it tidy in this office!

Mark, CRC, it was made/supplied by electron.
Unfortunately they sold out a long time ago, electron stopped making/supplying them & I’ve never found another source.

I know, the g/f was throwing it out, so I had to have it (note the dust, it doesn’t get used much). I’m a ****en hoarder!

For reference, there also a cat pheromone diffuser, a picture of me from 20 years ago, a disassembled chinese light, a box full of photo’s, a nail file & clear polish all in that photo….oh and the padded shirt I use as my kitten’s (day) bed

Mine came with a elastic headstrap – I just cut off the elastic and zip ties the mount to my lid. It looks like it grew there…

For those worrying about replacing the batteries before they even arrive, some with batteries which cost more than the solarstorm, don’t. I get around 2.5-4 hours out of each charge depending what beam power I run.

I’ve taken to discharging them in the fridge from time to time, to fully drain the battery after a long ride 😆

Milkyman: eBay sellers name is 360digital2011. Uk based and quick turnaround.

The single XML lights come with the headstrap. £18 each with all the bits. I just drop the battery into my camelback – the lead is plenty long enough.
My twin spot should be with me tomorrow from the same seller. From the pictures it looks like you don’t get the headstrap with this one.

This head strap – for helmet use or bare head?

It’s for head use, you can just use the light holder fixed to your lid.

Id say no . Since moving to solar storms on helmet and bars the xml t6 just doesnt get a look in anymore. It’s last year’s must have light.

afternoon all

what are the experiences so far of the bundled battery & charger? enough to get by with?

on lightmalls.com seems to be about £6 difference between the bundle, and the light by itself, so obviously thinking if its worth getting a balancing charger & new pack, or just to stick with the bundle for a while

MrMF

I thought for the sake of six quid it was worth a punt on the battery and charger. Haven’t received it yet mind! 🙂

Does anyone know if the twin XML U2 will fit on the headband strap used for the T6?
Mine arrived today and seems very bright- waiting for rain to stop/darkness to test properly!

I have seen some that would look at home on a land rover hunting animals int woods!

I think that’s the seller I used – came with 3pin UK plug and rear light. A happy buyer here although I don’t know how he fitted it all in the box as I sure as hell can’t replicate it!

I used mine for the first time last night, mounted to helmet with my old magicshine P7 on the bars, have ordered another one (from the link above, thanks!) to replace the P7 just now. Very impressed with the light on offer for such little money.

Mine arrived this morning, charged it up and as the previous five pages confirm, its awesome. Orders another immediately.

It would appear the laws of supply and demand are in force. They’ve gone up by £5, still worth it I suppose 🙂
