i tried mine (again as above) properly last night, bar mounted alongside the ay-ups i normally use, so i turned it on for descents only – it lasted fine for that and made quite a difference! my ay-ups are great but for fast descents it’s good to have something with a longer range (though it is pretty tight). i “tested” it at home and got 40 minutes before i noticed it dimming with the shitey batteries it comes with.
i made a simple mount with a blob of that polymorph microwave-melting plastic and a ziptie, worked nicely!
so yeah, as a welcome but not relied on boost, it’s perfect! also think it would be very easy to separate the head and battery to make a nice helmet torch, might well buy another to do that with seeing as they are so cheap.
one thing though – i’ve heard that those batteries are a little volatile – how should i carry them? (guessing loose in damp pocket not ideal..)
