Can anyone give me any advice before parting with cash?

Thanks

They are very good. Batteries can be a bit crap but cheap to replace if they do give up.

Attach via a rubber band - not had a problem myself with these. Could always bodge another light's mount if you so desire. The 872 is the brightest. Hope it's for off road - run on low and pointed to the ground if on road - they are very bright.

I've got 2 x 818 rears and a 808E.

Not a bad UK price that btw.

Worth getting an upgraded battery?

No point buying a standard, running it dead then having to buy replacement at £65

Can get the higher spec replacement instead of the standard for £31 extra.

This one is only 1200 Lumens (and also a clone), but its much cheaper :

That looks more like the 808 which is £76 on the other site.

Thanks for the heads up though.

What do you expect to get from this light? The lens on this light is not clear and thus it diffracts the light a lot, meaning you don't get a strong centre spot. Essentially it is a flood light, which means it isn't the best light to be using on the road.
