Hi all

Need some lights for my bike! I really cant afford to spend anything over £50 at the moment. Ive notice you seem to need to spend near to £100 for anything decent, which is worrying as I seriously dont have enough cash at the moment. Is it possible to get a decent front and back lifght set for £50 ??

My first priority is to be able use my bikes on the roads at night. But if there was something out there that can also be used on trails, canal paths etc than the would be perfect.

Any advice would be great! Cheers!

    It's a good set for commuting and easy off road. Get some rechargeables because it'll only do 10 hours on a set of batteries.

    Yeah cheers for that.

    What are rechargable batteries like. Do different brands work better ? Never owned any :P

    I bought some energiser ones that recharge in 15 minutes. Brilliant for the times you don't remember to recharge them - 15 minutes and you're ready to go.
