Heads up, incase anyone is after some cheap lights!
As some may know I collect lights. :oops:
I left work today and went to one of the cycle shops here (The Hub) to have a nosy and realised they have some lights on sale. OK they're not Hope or Exposure, but they're bright and will do the average commuter.
I got a Blackburn Mars 1 for £13 (about average that I think), and a Torch white front light for 7. The Torch one is like the Smart one, probably the same factory, brighter than my modded Sainsburys light. I would say its as bright as a Cateye HL EL135 but with an extra flash mode and better side vis. The beam obviously isnt as focused.
They also have a load of the Knog ones, I will go back tomorrow and get those. Hope to do a new Youtube vid on these lights, and then keep a set at work as a backup.
