I only got some real cheap led lights when I got my bike, I am now fully kitted out with High Viz and waterproofs for the harsh winter ahead, So I now need some decent lights, There is only one unlit area I use and its only about half a mile so I dont need anything amazing, as it goes my budget is pretty tight right now too as im headed on holiday soon, So are these any good ?

CatEye HL-EL410 (90 Candle)

BSPOKE 1/2 WATT FRONT (it says 488 Candle)


As I say neither are great but at around 25 quid they seem to have pretty good bang for the buck, Can you guys suggest either ? Or maybe even something else around the same budget price point ?

Thanks

    That CatEye I believe is not waterproof.

    I have a couple of these for the front;

    Fitted one to the helmet, got one on the headstock. It comes in a canvas "holster", so easy to cable tie/take the torch out when you go walkabouts. Takes 3 AAA's, and are superb! Well powerful - to the point of making you look like a Vectra (that distinctive blue tint to the headlights) :lol:
