Good Bright Off Road Light For Under £100

jedi_master

I have a Hope Vision Twin LED which i use on and off road. Now my bro is after getting a front light to come riding with me when i go out once dark but he wants something that's bright enough for off road but also the cheaper the better but he is willing to go up to £100.

Was looking on CRC and i have seen these two ...
Nite Rider Trail Rat 2.0
Cygo Lite Night Rover NiMH

Any good ?? what others should he be looking at ?? as i know there's alot more about. Sealed so it's water proof would be a plus as well as there are times when out it just starts raining.

Oh we aren't going to be speeding, so a nice spread and clear vision will be good.

I've been avoiding posting this *again* but if you're capable of some simple DIY/soldering and you want a stupidly bright off-road light, for way less than £100, then consider this...

Get one of these off ebay and find a suitable battery.

Personally I got one of his lamps with a 30W MasterlineES lamp, an old 750ml water bottle, a cable from Lumicycle spares, 2 x 4300mAH radio controlled car "racing packs" and a 3A in-line waterproof blade fuse. Pass the cable through the mouthpiece of the water bottle and solder up so that the fuse & battery connectors are all in series. A bit of old foam keeps the batteries secure in the bottle and I just pop the top off to charge them up. My brother uses a 14.4v cordless drill battery pack (needs to be a decent mAH otherwise it'll only last 5 minutes).

Cost me about £75 all in and the result is a light that's as bright as my LandRover's halogen headlights on full beam.

Downsides are it gets hot, though cycling at a moderate speed cools it down, the battery is about 900g and the battery life is only 75 minutes at full brightness with another 15-30 minutes of get-you-home light. Obviously a lower wattage bulb will give longer run-times.
