Seems a bit too good to be true at this price...

    not that one, but I bought a P7 torch style light off them just over a year ago and have been well impressed. I doubt you'd be going far wrong with it...

    There is a review of them on this very site. 3.5 stars.
    Smarter than the average bear.

    I have these very lights, from Planet X, but paid £58.

    Very good for being seen, not so good for unlit roads, beams are a bit narrow for that.

    Battery life - I charge mine once a week, and they are switched on for about 8 hrs a week, battery still has charge in at at end of week.

    Fitting - handlebar mounts are good, battery comes with a bracket which snapped after a month on rough roads, also comes with a bag which straps to frame which is better and which I now use.

    All in all, excellent value. I daresay a more expensive rechargeable would be better but for commuting/training on streetlit roads I have found them excellent.
