  • buy What Mountain Bike (out now) and MBUK (out in next few days) both have grouptests of lights and should help you out.

    I've had some lumicycle HID for 2 years and whilst not the best quality when compared to Lupine and L&M they are much better value IMO.

    Can do nothing but recommend the Hope systems throughly, check about there some good deals about - better to get something like this that a good quality light with reliability than something that just the cheapest about IMHO...

    Otherwise I hear that these guys http://www.ayup.com.au/ are getting good reviews, or you might try getting some lights from America, as the exchange rate is so favourable.
  • I recently purchased the Niterider Enduro HID from Jenson USA. It cost $279 + $35 shipping, THEN £35 tax = approx £200. It is however a darn sight cheaper than buying in this country.
    However when buying from the states, all is not as it seems initially due to tax etc. I had to send the 1st Enduro light back to Jenson - they sent me a faulty unit. After paying to send it back to them, waiting 2 weeks, then paying tax again, finally I am happy! So just be careful when not buying from the UK :evil:

    That's got to be about the most confusing website for buying I've ever seen!
