Yes

I do sometimes aswell (only when it's dark though)

Never used one 😳

Got 3 of them and the bike light from thembike light

Yes they're ace. I've got two, used to use one on the head and one on the bars, more than bright enough (even with just one) for full on night riding. I now only use one on the head and a Deal Extreme bike light on the bars. Great quality as well for the price, mine have lasted well over a year without any problems.

I ordered the 16092 torch (plus helmet mount, charger & 2 batteries) on 20th Jan and it all arrived 2nd feb. £36 all in and its jolly good (as a helmet light to go with my Lumi 3Led light). You can get them from some places in the UK for a lot more money.
16092 is 5 mode and a nice flood beam, that compliments my Lumi spot.

Had two for over a year now. SKU12060 is the one to go for. They're not 900 lumen's, probably about 650. Can be a faff but a cheap way of getting £250's worth of light for £50 or so.
Ran a Hope HID before.
A beam comparison below. (Exposure time for the P7 was 0.5sec less so its actually very slightly brighter).

DX P7 (SKU12060)

2 of them, they're ace. Only the very best "proper" lights are better, and then not by much. 2 cheap torches is better on the trails than any single proper light, even the wallet-bursting Seca 900. Durable too, and unlimited burn time.

When you look at the Exposure range- Joysticks and Diablos in particular- you realise just what a total ripoff some bike lights are. They're just torches, only they actually have worse functionality than these torches because the batteries aren't easily replacable. They have nice mounts but that's it. Yet people happily spend a packet on them. It's bizarre tbh.

fbk – I can beat that (but thankfully not my own money) – mate snapped my bar mount so another mate was ordering up a light (the same one Takasawa has (and I have as well)), batteries, charger and mounts. His torch arrived 2 months later, the batteries and mount a further 2 weeks after that, the charger a week after that and we are still waiting on my bar mount. He ordered his at the beginning of October…

Forgot to say, it is a very good light for the price…it might not be as fancy as the really expensive lights with all their smart settings and stuff, but it works very well, gives off a very good light spread and lasts well enough. The one I have, I rarely run it on full power, but I've got 6 batteries so have the potential for about 12hrs riding, changing the battery isn't a hassle and does give you a bit more flexibility in riding times. The lowest flood is fine for road riding and the medium setting is fine for flats and climbing and the high beam is very good for fast downhilling. A very good torch that has proved reliable for the price.

Saying that, the last 3 months I've not used it (but my mates have) as I was lucky enough to be given some new lights which I'm loving!

Has anyone ordered from here; http://www.lumilite.co.uk

I know its the same product (at over priced UK prices). But with a UK warranty and no 5 week waiting time.

yes, on Friday. Not turned up yet but expecting them imminently. They are half price at the moment – £85 including postage

EDIT when you pay it takes you to a personal PayPal site of the guy who brings them in. I spoke to him on the mobile to check it is kosher. I'm keeping fingers crossed he was telling the truth 😯

That looks pretty good might go for one of them. keep it on medium for the easy bits and put it on high for the tough stuff.

Yes, that was one of my concerns, the site just doesn't feel right…let me know how you get on…

I got mine, used it once in the cold -4 and the switch stopped working, never to work again… Its now enjoying its new life in the Bin!!!! If you buy cheap, you buy twice!! RUBBISH wouldnt EVER buy another one. BUT if you like the idea of being stuck in the middle of the woods in the pitch black with no other light, then yeah get one!!

Use two torches – one on bars one on helmet. Can't think of a cheaper way of getting so much light, and no reliability issues with mine. Shipping was a little slow but not as bad as many seem to have experienced. Overall I am very happy – can't afford the big name lights and have got same performance at price I could afford.

Whats the point, its only money… Got a nice new set of hope vision 2 and 4's now!!! 8)

Umm that's exactly the point isn't it.. ppl are buying these torches because there cheaper than the 'proper' bike lights.
Yes a Hope Vision 4 is ace, but at 4/5 times the cost of a DX torch, without being 4/5 times better.

Bigface0_0…just out of curiosity, try disassembling & reassembling the tail cap. (A pair of scissors in the two holes & unscrew – all comes apart easy enough). I always carried a back-up, but as you say, being plunged into darkness in the middle of nowhere is verging on dangerous at the least.
If you've still got it I'd be happy to take a look at it.

Two out of three isn't bad. The diablo actually has the same burn time as the P7 torch (not surprising given it is using very similar technology in a very similar package).

NO WAY thats a P7…
