    Where from? How much is it? What type of riding do you do?

    S*ngletr*ck tested it recently and said "The light output is OK but its weight makes it impractical for helmet-mount use. A good value introduction to night-riding if run bar-mounted though". The Ayup Multisport, Exposure Maxx D, Lupine Wilma 5 and Exposure Joystick Maxx 2 were better (but more expensive).

    MBR said pretty much the same and they got good burn times from the Vision 1 when using some decent AAs.

    I have nothing by praise for my Ay-Ups. You get on set for the bar and another for the helmet, for similar prices to single light sets. They are truly brilliant and weigh next to nothing.

    I'm sounding like a stuck record - but for under £80 get two L2Ds or LD20 Fenixes. One on the bars - one on the helmet. Given my biking a whole new lease of life.
