    I’ve had some bad experiences with the cheap chinese eBay stuff, but these are tempting me given the UK backup….anyone used them?

    960 Lumens CREE Bike Light (also has 450 Lumens & 100 Lumens Mode for dip)

    I’ve got 2 of them and also a spare large battery. Managed to fit the two batteries into a bottle to tidy things up.

    Lights are pretty bright, as you get used to them you think that they maybe aren’t as bright as you think, turn them off, experience complete blackness and realise maybe they were actually quite good.

    Secure plug and screw closed cable connection, the chilli tech guy says the batteries are good and not dodgy exploding ones.

    Can move on the bars due to the rubber band mount so I sorted this by getting one of those out front bar things and drilling a couple of holes in it and bolting the lights onto it, no movement now but they are there till next summer!

    Switches are a bit fiddly but it has a separate kind of halo on the outside of the light lens that does a great job on flashing.

    Also, when you dip it for a driver you have to go through low and off to get it back to high. With two lights it’s not so much a hassle but with one there is a second of darkness.

    Good for 31 quid though.

    They are being pretty heavily promoted on Facebook at the moment. They seem to be getting good reviews too.

    I’d put a bet on they are cheap Chinese lights..availble on Amazon and other sites under different names.
