What light?

Ellio

OK so now the clocks have changed and the weather is getting better in the evenings again I have taken the bike off the turbo trainer and I'm getting out for rides again. Problem I have at the moment is the light I have is rather poo. It was just cheap and cheerful I bought last year but they don't light the road up enough (bright enough just not wide enough) so need a new one but I don't want to spend more money on a new one only to find they have the same problem. Any recommendations would be much appreciated I only have a small budget of about £30 to spend most of the ride I do at the moment in the evening is on the road but do do a tiny bit of xc so want something bright with a good wide beam.

Any help greatly received

Slightly over £30 - but amazingly bright.

I have it as a bookmark - I've advised so many people to get it !

Fantastic torch and I'll be back riding at night once I've got the marathon out of the way in a few weeks.

ok looks good has anyone ordered from that web site?

also I want it to be mounted on the handle bars what would be the best way to do this?

I have one of these as my main light, can't fault it. its very bright, simple, adjustable fit (did seems a bit weak at first but have had no problems with it and clamps in place solid) and quite cheap. Also used it in the house when there was a power cut a few weeks ago, it lit up the whole of downstairs!

The P7 seems to be the most highly regarded light on these forums, and sounds like a very decent bit of kit, from a reliable overseas company.

When I get mine (abotu a week) I'll post up some pics, although to a search on the forum and you should find some.

Have this charger instead, that's one region you never ever skimp on, same with using protected cells, one mischarge and boom.

As for the p7, make sure it's a c bin emitter, best all rounder.

found this company that looks like its the same just has it all it £. http://www.bestofferbuy.com/mte-ssc-p7- ... 14142.html


Anyone know if they are the same as for some reason I just feel better ordering in £ or is there a way of changing the price from $-£ on the dealextreme web site?
