    These are excellent... I have 3 of them, one of which is on my lid.
    It's worth bookmarking DIYs guide - and his 'how to fix' youtube video, as I have found (a) I periodically have to tighten the inside of the end cap to avoid the light cutting out when subjected to rough riding, and (b) that the 'tinfoil' heatsink seems to improve reliability.

    Yeah your right mate dont loads about lights on here but only had my 872 a week but every bit as good if not better than my mates hope r4, there is more than enough light for fast trail riding and i love the digital readout on the battery, can really comment on recharge times and run times or water proofing as not had ling enough. hope this helps.

    Good alternative to Dealextreme is Lightmalls.
    Got a few torches last year (bar mounts and helmet mounted via elastic and velcro), used both shops and both were good.

    just a slight correction... they now had US and EU warehouses...

    but they must be the size of my garden shed because they hardly have anything in stock...

    Then again..

    the china warehouse hardly has anything is stock... lol
