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 around. If I do use it on my road bike i can always reduce the power output to more driver friendly use. The first one i got though turned out to be dud. The jargon on the instructions stated it would take around 9 hours to fully charge, but 25 hours later mine was still only barely showing 75%. Today i decided to return it and the Halfords staff couldn't of been more helpful. No questions asked whatsoever they got me a replacement to which is now working properly. When i opened up the second one out of its box the first thing i noticed is that it had included a Garmin out front mount, whilst the other one didn't. The box on the second one was also sealed too.
I,m starting to think the original was returned by a previous punter minus the garmin mount, and its somehow found its way back on the shelf again. The light is pretty good on full chat and gives a really good spread of light. Ideal for negotiating dark forest trails. Hopefully this will keep me happy this winter on and off road for many miles to come
