Got these last year for riding in the dark nights. I have to say they have been very good, never let me down and the power they push out is the same as my mate £200 set. I ve also seen them been sold in JE JAMES for over 90 pounds.
I've even had car drivers put their full beam on as they think am a motorbike. Be seen and stay safe. ( p.s just read this back and it reads as if I work for them, and am trying to sell them am not just dont think people should get ripped off)

Find them on amazon.

That means they're being blinded, I hope you aimed them down?
To many cyclists don't seem to understand that!

When I met my wife, she had been driving for about 10 years, but she didn't know you need to dip your full beam when you are behind another vehicle, so wouldn't dip until a car was coming the other way :lol:. In her defence, she is from a city where you tend to stay on dip, but still. She'd been doing that for ten years!

I have 3 of said lights now and they are good. I'm sure you can get better spread of light if you pay more, as they are quite 'spotty' but they are easily good enough. The batteries are good and they are powerful.

Sorry. I was a little coarse. I was crudely making the point that drivers don't blast motorcyclists with main beam, they blast people who are dazzling them. Most modern lights are a good product for off-road riding, but not a good product from the driver's perspective. Some cyclists take being main-beamed as a sign that their lights are a step up in some imaginary arms race, others that their lights are ill-suited to road use. No offence intended, I'm just foul-mouthed by nature 🙂

Mind you, on the odd occasion that an oncoming driver fails to dip his headlights (because you're [i]just[/i] a cyclist), you can give them a nice surprise by lighting them up.

So its a P7 SSC Cree XML? With only one LED it can't be both Soul Semi Conductors P7 and a Cree XML! Which one are you gonna get? There is a bit of a difference...

What's a really good, amazingly cheap all in one torch like light?
For my commuter(off road) just want one for the bars without the faff of separate battery and wires.

I've been waiting a month for one of those 17 quid eBay Chinese jobs

I know it's from China, but a month for postage?
