UPDATE : 90 min last night full power and a further 2hrs 20 min this morning on full power green light with 10 min on red light before it switched off..So almost 4 hrs on full power WOW...

Nice Did the indicator light go blue or orange at all, or did it just change to red after a while? Mine definitely has a tinge of blue going on right now after about 1hr 40mins use.

You can bodge Hope Vision 1 Spare Mounts to fit these lights ! About £8 from CRC.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a "non-bodge" option though? Serious question, as I have something in mind.....

That's good run time, hit red and have a backup plan !

Bodging a mount - you can do it with many mounts, and usually its just a longer screw to attach. TBH I'm happy with the rubber bands as you can easily tilt the light. My bars are 'shiny' so I've wrapped a little electrical tape round them so the rubber foot can grip.

Old inner tubing is good for 'getting a grip' on bars too.

I can see a flame war with Potsy That said I have on order from Hong Kong snail mail a 3 x T6 vapouriser unit !

Trying to work out if I can get 2 Hope's, a Moon and the T6 all on the bars at the same time, that should learn ya

Another update and a little concern, having fully depleted the battery pack been charging now for just over 3 hours and red light still on mmmm..

 

[fossyant]

That's fine. They take a while to recharge.

Not sure if certified, but it arrived in two days, and the charger adaptor has the BS-5732 on it for what its worth.

I was going to say but Fossy got there 1st, charged mine the other day Monday I think and it took awhile and that wasn't from flat.

Took 4 hours from completely flat to fully charged...

So first impressions are extremely positive... only problem is I ripped the strap off the battery bag removing it last night

Same thing happened whilst I was riding on Sunday, battery went flying across the road. I just wrapped the excess cable through the belt loop and round the handle bar. It must be sub standed stitching.

At least mine didn't break until I was trying to remove it, and not whilst cycling – definitely not strong enough stitching on the wee battery bag.
