The Nanoshot looks like it has a bigger button on the back rather than the small one on the top of the Volt. I tried repeatedly and just couldn't use the button on the Volt properly with gloves on - part of the problem I think is that it is recessed into the aluminium housing. I don't think the Volt has the green/orange/red battery indicator of the Nanoshot, just red at 20% left.

That's a shame ... I wouldn't mind the green not being there - but the Amber is a good point to start showing that you need to be considering having a second light source or end your ride ..
I'll have to go into a shop and try the volt button - the Nanoshot is easy to use - I've only ever accidentally turned it onto Hyperconstant (two quick presses) and I can live with that ... but you do need to use it with gloves - duh!
....Exposure Strada. ......Still to try it in heavy rain
Nothing to worry about, mate. My Toro 5 could probably be used underwater, with no problem. It's been in a few deluges. Like everything to do with Exposure lights, it's worry-free. The "storm cap" they added to the charging port a few versions back added extra rain protection but even the older ones were fine because of the "cowling" at the rear of the light.
Anyone any exerience of the Electron Terra 3 ?
Available for a good price, claimed 800 mlumen triple LED, significat negative I've seen (road.cc review) is that it has a very wide beam so not so road-friendly, more for off road.

Yup, I have become a bike light geek

I've just bought another Ultrafire for £12 including battery and handlebar mount - mostly for my wife who doesn't often ride in the dark...

Used this for the first time last night, round my ankle. Very bright, 180 degree visibility, festive.
