[Closed] Budget Lights

[url= http://www.candb-seen.co.uk/ ]C And B Seen[/url]

Couple of us have bought the C&B Seen 1200Lm jobbie.

First ride out on it next week, but seems very well made and bright for around £40.

Good info on cheap lights here, review of the C&B Seen lights towards the bottom of the page, as well as other very similar (but much cheaper) alternatives:

I think with either P7s or XMLs (especially the latter) the important thing is to have the 'orange peel' reflector. I just bought a smooth reflector XML and fully expect it to be too spotty. Might be okay on the helmet though...

I recently bought the first one you posted, used it on a night ride at Afan and the bracket broke going downhill so I had to gaffa tape it to the bars. plenty of light but if felt too spotty for a bar beam, would be better as a lid light although the battery pack would be heavy if attached to the lid. May get a wide angle lens for it or strap to head with battery in camelbak.

100 or so threads a week on this, do a search for the big threads.

p.s Magicshine 900lumen user here. £49 two years ago. Still working well

cheers all. Lots to read!

I've ha done of these [url= http://dx.com/p/t6-waterproof-xml-t6-3-mode-1200-lumen-white-led-bike-light-with-battery-pack-set-82510 ]DX XML Lamp[/url] for 15 months and it is going strong with no propblems other than having to superglue the bracket after I broke it. I have it on my helment and it does have a serious hotspot. Easily fixed with a different lens.

I have the second one you've listed. Only used it once but it was to misty to give a good review but it seams to through out loads of light.
