Anyone got one?
If so how are they?
I will watch this thread with interest.
I got one last year. Very bright and well made. I dropped mine onto a very solid floor and barely marked it so looks like it should last well. Remote switch is more useful than I thought it'd be and the guy was very helpful when I contacted him. Haven't had lots of lights and not used it for a while but from memory beam is nicely balanced.
Actually I think mine is the 3000 lumen version, I would be happy with less lumens but decided to go for the 3000 so I could run it at a lower setting for longer.
I've got one. I've been impressed with the light itself, good flood of light, I use it on the bars.
I've been less impressed with the battery - despite regular discharge cycles over the summer (when it has been unused) it appears to have deteriorated significantly.
It's getting to that point where I need to kit me and the missus out with some lights for our short commute.
Ideally I'd want to do it for less that £100. Might get 2 of these and some cheap rear flashers?
Anything as good for similar prices?

I have a few C&B lights, including the city slicker (self contained with batteries).
Your best bet is either Amazon or ebay for the Pannovo/Solarstorm battery boxes, then buy your own 18650 batteries from Torchy.
You can charge the batteries using a standard 'magicshine' type charger, and also worth occasionally taking them out and putting on a smart charger to ensure they are balanced. The good news is in the last 2 years, my batteries have always charged fully within just a few minutes of each other, so they aren't going out of balance.
