Is the Hope Vision 1 good enough for...

Nigh-time singletrack riding, leisurely pace?

it will just about do, but the light output is poor for the money. Many better options about.

Ok thanks. Whats the best light for under £200 for the riding mentioned? Just something I can stick on my handlebars and go.

Buy from deal extreme website in hong kong rather than the magicshine uk site - cheaper too (I think!)

Is this the 'new improved and more waterproof Magicshine'?

plain lazy

the hope vision 1 is a good little light, i use it for fire trails. but before you buy check out the led torches on ebay. i use these aswell. usually cost around 6 quid with postage from hong kong and the quality is amazing for the cash. The lights are up to about 300 lumens now so are plenty good enough for a leisurly night ride.

I found a MagicShine on Ebay which I just bought - didnt want to wait for overseas shipping. Its probably from one of you guys!
