has anyone any experience of these lights? they're going for £110 on planet-x and wondered if anyone used them and had any feedback?

cheers in advance.

    Mines into it's second winter and I really like it. The mode selection is a little stupid as you have to turn the light off between high, low, medium, flash.

    Being honest if I had my money again I'd buy two of these, one for my bars and one for my helmet - I use mine almost entirely off road, on the road you could just get one.

    Couple of people in my club have them now and they look as good as my light and perform as well. No idea over longevity. THey worked out about £50 per light. All the rage over on singletrackworld a few months ago.

    I've got the P7 torch light version and am very pleased with it, the switching mode is a bit 'idiosyncratic' but I've not found it a problem. Plenty of light to ride on unlit roads at a reasonable pace even on the low setting and a reasonable runtime (the SL1 P7 will have a better runtime than the torch version I got...). Stevo at Planet-x was very patient in answering my dumb questions and it turned up 2 days after ordering (with the peace of mind that if it does play up Planet-x will sort it ou rather than having to send it back to a mail order firm in Korea).
    I'm thinking of getting the Luu bike light that they also do for about £160 but have no worries about recommending the Airbike light.
