Ok, so the lighter nights are soon going to be coming to a close, and im just wondering what offroad performance lights you use? I'll have a budget of £200 max, but how do you get around the fact that the light may run out of battery, as most post£100 lights are run off rechargable battery packs??

Thanks

    P.S. and if you don't think that either of the available batteries is going to last long enough, buy a spare. They're not too expensive and they're very light.

    I've got both AY-UP and Lumicycle

    AY-UP probably better cos the batteries are tiny for the run time. Light units again are small for the power output.

    For £200, I'd probably go for the Joystick Max and the piggyback battery pack:

    Really nice kit for the money, and it gives a good upgrade plan (buy a handlebar mounted light later)
