Hi guys, winter is approaching and i am after a new front light for the zesty so i can carry on my evening rides as the evenings draw in. I keep coming across these Cree XML 1800 lumen lights and wondered if anyone has any experience with them, a mate has one of these:

I have also found what appears to be an updated version by the same company with a zoomable lense:

just wondered if anyone has one and which (if any) i should try?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
