Was searching for a new set of front lights and came across these...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore%C2%A ... 677&sr=8-2

Look OK for the money, but does not specify run time. Does anybody have one or any experience of them?

I started to read through the big light thread, but I reckon it will take me a week to get through the whole lot, so I thought I'd ask here in the mean time.....

    At a guess that will give you about 2.5-3hrs on full brightness, for that money you could get 2 XMLs from dealextreme with 1600Lumens/4 hours each!

    You can get those sorts of lights much cheaper on ebay than amazon

    as said above, i'd reccomend getting 2 lights. you can save battery whilst climbing or whatever by turning one off. we went for a night ride last night and one of northern monkey's lights died, but he still had another to get him home.
