could you cut off the old plug and wire a new one on? is it just a normal plug or is it a transformer? need to get the right fuse rating

How did your light come so quick? 
On an unrelated note, I bought the Hope mount for mine because it kept slipping down, hope it fits!

yes i was happy with the delivery time
i havnt put it on the bike yet, i need to move a few things round to fit it on so will hopefully get time at the weekend all being well, i may use some tie wraps instead of the rubber rings they sent, whats the hope mount? ive also read things about a diffussor?
looks really bright

Yes I'd be interested to know what difference the diffuser makes? Comparison pics!!!!!

The diffuser spreads the light sideways - so you get a rectangle of light rather than a spot. What works really well is a T6 on a normal lense and one with a diffuser. I have a diffuser on my magicshine version (but that also has an orange peel lense that spreads more as well). The diffuser is better for the road than the standard - much less dazzle.
NOT my video, but you get the idea.

Used the light for the first time last night going to football...we have a dedicated bus road going through Fareham (great for Strava) which is completely unlit.... needless to say a bus flashed me from about 1/4 mile away so I guess that means he saw me!! I did dip it down after that as I wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of the bedazzlement lol

I've gone lumen mad 
My second XML-T6 light arrived today and while they're awesomely bright, the battery packs are really annoying. Someone please tell me there's a more elegant solution than having a brick on my top tube?! Should I just sell one of them and get a bright flashlight with built in batteries?

One of my T6 lights has a normal lens and the other has a diffuser, why is this better than having two spread beams as opposed to one normal and one spread?

I went by a women with what looked like one of these on her bike yesterday. Gave her a scare when I slowed down and politely pointed out that whilst her front light was brilliantly bright, her coat was hanging over her rear light rendering her invisible from the back.
