    As sold by Chain Reaction Cycles and with the specifications HERE for £10, I'm only after £5 including postage. I purchased a couple of pairs and have tried using one of them which have now been binned. While they are plenty long enough for my long and skinny arms, they are just too tight for...

    The Light Paper

    We get a lot of charity bags pushed through the letterbox here. And the occasional takeaway menu. Today's offering is a newspaper called The Light Paper. I think it'll try to tell me that COVID is a hoax and that I wasted my time having the booster the other day. Don't think I'm that desperate...

    Bathroom light fluorescent to LED

    My circular bathroom ceilling lamp takes GR10q flat fluorescent tubes. They fit into a 4 pin ballast that conditions the electrical supply. The last time I replaced a tube, the new one did not work. Multimeter suggests that the tube is good but the ballast is no good. I cannot find a replacement...

    Head unit aux light

    Afternoon all, I've tried various search permutations but to no avail, so apologies in advice if a regular topic. Now we have moved into the age of darkness and more night riding does anyone have any recommendations for a small light to illuminate my Garmin, rather than me pushing a button and...

    Car light issue.

    Changed a brake light the other day, (nearside as you ask) just been told that my brake lights are stuck on. A little bit of experimenting gave these results. Sidelights or headlights on = brake lights stay on. Sidelights and headlights off = normal brake light function...... However when I...

    Rear light with brake warning.

    I've been using these for a couple of weeks now, really good rear light!. It has a sorts of sensors inside and a fancy processor. Be all and end all it knows when you at slowing down and shows a solid bright red light as a warning. Only downside is it took a month to turn up...

    Are all bike light battery packs equal?

    I have an oldish Glowworm X2 bike light. Works well. Battery pack has two Panasonic cells, total output 7.4v 2900mAh and some electronics to protect from over charge/discharge etc. Daughter wants to use it for the GBDuro and I’m concerned that battery is tired and will not last the distance. It...

    Replacing the Brompton reflector with a rechargeable tail light

    Can anyone recommend a rechargeable tail light to replace the Brompton reflector? I've looked online and I can only find two and they are both over $40 which seems a bit excessive. I see Nightrider sells a $10 plastic rack adapter for their tail lights - again seems like a lot of money for a bit...

    A Bit of Light Relief

    I've been looking for some kind of bag for the lightweight front rack on the Linear for some time. With a bit of of lateral thinking I've found a motorcycle tail bag that will do the job. I've had to raise the front accessory bar to let it swing with the steering above the bag but found a stem...

    Have you been fined for running a red light on your bike?

    No I haven't but I was wondering how much the fine is here in the UK. I ask because I was just watching a guy in NY fined $190 for doing so. Seemed steep. View: https://youtu.be/DFS9raWLMWY

    The blinding light of the low sun

    Hi, Today i thought I would try a new route in order to commute to work. The direct route involves a very busy fast moving A road which i don't particularly like. 16 miles each way in dark rush hour traffic really isn't fun and always feel vulnerable along it. After studying a few options, the...

    Which 2xAAA rear light?

    Recently my long serving Smart Lunar R1s have started falling off and one has been lost. Before I just get a like for like, are there any newer better options people are aware of. Much rather have AAAs as can pop fresh charged ones in rather than find a dead light when I need to set off to work.

    I bought a new 1600 lumen light the other day

    Hi, On Friday i ended up buying a new front light from Halfords. I got my hands on the Bike Hut 1600 lumen. I know its totally overkill for road use, but this winter I'm planning on doing more evening MTB riding were the trails around me are pitch black and littered with obstacles to navigate...

    Bike Light Power Connectors - anyone know what they are?

    It's getting to the time of year where I try and remember where the charger is for my lights. I have a perfectly good front light, and a perfectly good charger (I did find it in the end) and a perfectly good battery. However, the cable on the battery is rubbish - I've cut the plug off twice and...
