Do you want good quality, bright front lights on a budget ?

Trigger a seizure? Surely anybody with photo sensitive epilepsy would have animated GIFs turned of in their browser options.

Give the guy a break, I think you're over reacting, just a tad. I hadn't given his avatar a second thought until you mentioned it, and I doubt many other people would be irritated by it either.

Good call on the torches, I think I'll get one. Some of the other torches that were recommended looked good but had short battery life and expensive batteries.

I'm trying to give the guy a break Mr P - by letting him know that his avitar really pisses me off... it's nothing personal

Well I think long hair and moustaches look idiotic. Are you going to change your avatar to please me? :0)

Whilst very cleaver, your avatar is so f**king irritating



I actually found domtylers avatar a bit irritating but managed to ignore it and it doesn't bother me at all now.

<----Some avatars go with the name although im not sure what TC's avatar is about.

His avatar is easy to make it's a gif file.

Man, Christopher Walken is so good isn't he? One of those actors who's always a joy to watch.

....heading back on-topic a tad.......I have two of the tesco 10 quid jobbies on my winter bike now...seem to be doing a job on the unlit canal paths..and rechargables seem to fit OK..

 

[Piemaster]

Sure I've sung the praises of Tescos £10 ones here before.
With some (admitedly poor) photo links

Perhaps I wasn't shouty enough about them

 

[DJ]

That's "Brilliant" ! I'll go and get one of those Tesco ones!

 

[hackbike 6]

What is the battery life?

 

[fossyant]

About 2 hours on 1800/2000 batteries - that's on full brightness, just drops off after that, but still plenty bright enough to 'be seen' whilst commuting.

 

[hackbike 6]

Yes that's what I thought.

I have fit and forget lights low maintenance.(Because I designed them)

These sort of lights are good as a backup though.

How do you mount these Tesco torches to the bars?

 

[gratts]

Most people seem to use these

I've read about using 2 jubilee clips threaded through each other, one tightened around the handlebars and the other around the torch..I'm going to pick some up from Wickes and try that option first, just because I'm skint

 

[Mr Phoebus]

How do you mount these Tesco torches to the bars?

I use a 'Livestrong band'. Loop it under the bar and shove the torch through the ends. Unbelievably simple and quick.
