Hope Vision One, B&M Ixon IQ or similar: Sorted out, thanks...

[StuAff]

Having fallen victim to thieving b******s again (some 'colleague' stole both my V1s from the bike shed at work), I have need of decent front lights, suitable for dark lanes and a full night, preferably taking 4 rechargeable AAs (of which I have many). Vision One v2 (2013 onwards) would be preferred but I'd be happy enough with the original. I've read good things about the Ixon IQ, alternative options welcome.

Hi Stu. I have (theoretically at least) 2 HV1s and only use them one at a time, so DM me and I will send you one. But there is one drawback ... I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find both, so it may take some time searching to ensure that I haven't lost one of them. So instant service not guaranteed.

I would love to sell you my Ixon IQ but some little toe rags stole it a few month ago - from a locked compound, caught on camera.

Steal it back @StuAff? Or has said colleague left?

 

[StuAff]

If he/she is dumb enough to bring them back to work, I will if I spot them…

Thanks to @Dogtrousers of this parish, and CAMRAMan of YACF, I now have two V1s to act as backup/additional lights to the Alpkit Ariel I bought in the meantime. So all sorted.

Glad you're sorted.
It's a real shame Hope don't make them anymore.
