Recently re discovered the joy of night rides. Bought 3 great torches fron deal extreme a good 4 years back but one has packed up so rides are a little dim at the mo. I assume technology has come on and prices have decreased further in the last few years.

Can someone point me towards / recommend a great torch for trail centre and some xc stuff(or even bike specific light) that won't cost the earth ? Ebay/Amazon/Deal extreme

a couple of years ago everyone was buying "Solarstom X2" lights. They're cheap and effective, all 4 of ours still work but I'm not sure the batteries are lasting as long as they used.

Not sure what's newer and better, but I hope someone will come and enlighten us!

I've bought a couple lights from this seller & so have a few of the lads at work I ride with. Had them about 18 months with no issues.

i bought a 1200lm set from candbseen about 3 eyars ago. havent found a sngle fault with the performance at all.
the standard 4 cell battery on full whack lasts around 3 hours and if you upgrade to the heavy duty 6 cell unit then you can get up to 6 hours on full power.
comes with UK spec smart chargers and you get full uk backup.
prices start at £50

i've had friends who've bought the cheap ebay lights with the higher claimed lumens but out on the trail mine shine brighter with a better focused beam and have lasted longer
