edited February 2008 in MTB buying advice
So after much deliberation and copious reading of reviews and such i've decided to get some hope leds as i want to see what this night riding lark is all about :lol: . They'll also be used to commute too as i work shifts :( .
I'm after just the standard 5w ones with the one battery or maybe the vision 1 but i cant find any posts concerneing the vision 1. How does it compare to the vision 2?
After some looking around i was wondering if the vision 2 can be got anywhere for less than 152 quid. And the cheapest i can find the vision 1 is 74 quid.
All comments welcome and thanks in advance,
Cheers :D .
Scott.

    yeah :D
    how about that for a timely response? ha ha
    the LED1 isn't out in our local leisure lakes till april i know that. the one thats £80 or so?

    I really only use my front hope at the moment for cycling to the pub and back, should have waited till next year.

    n.b. i only use it for road cycling as no-one will go off-road with me :( its a stunning light though!

    Think the new led 2 would be out of my price range to be honest 189 quid i think it says :shock:
    But i'd definately be interseted if you wanna part with yours & i suppose i can wait till you get another one :wink: . What colour is it? How much? 100 quid :wink: . PM or e-mail me when your thinkin of giving it to me........... erm i mean selling it :wink: .
    Cheers,
