Electron Terra 2!

Seems to get good reviews, my 15 mile commute (Gosport to Southampton) is a mix of pretty much everything so on face value it looks like a good option for me, now going for £80 ish.
Does anyone have any negative experiences with them?

If you dont need them next day - check out these : http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trks ... magicshine

Your light is 240 lumens ?

These claim 900 lumens - but in practice its more like 600. Fantastically bright on full power and fine for the roads on lower. And cheaper too.

Only positive experiences here. Had them for just over a month now, commute takes roughly 45 mins, mostly through city but 10mins at the end of the journey home on until country road and I just knock it up to full beam just as the street lights end and I don't need to slow down at all.

I run 1 light on low beam and 1 flashing on lit roads and so far have only charged them once a week and haven't seen the low battery warning.

I ordered a set from CRC but they were faulty, just waiting for the replacements to show up.

I have high hopes when they arrive ...

First impressions

Very easy to fit, routed cable along cross bar and tucked battery into saddle bag. Lack of QR brackets may get annoying, might look for a solution for that.

Lights perform very well, 1 unit spills a nice broad pool of light while unit 2 has a spot beam. High setting is very bright, with just the wide light on high I was able to see a full road width in good detail, which was what I wanted. On low setting it was almost as good, certainly good enough.

With both units on high I think oncoming cars might be dazzled

So far so good, and at £80 hard to beat for value.
