Rechargeable lights

[fee]

Looking at replacing my lights. I would like something that is good for road riding down country lanes and Mtb on weekends. I have seen a variety from twins to singles, price ranges from 20 - 400. I am looking to get the best I can for about 100. Any advice on this minefield of gadgets

Probably Magicshine's, not the best you can buy but they are probably the best value for money.

For £100 I would look at the 'Hope 1' light and buy some good AA rechargeable batteries for it.

For a little more you could get AYUP lights with a couple of their batteries.Much better option for MTB stuff I would have thought.

Had a look at the magic shine, they look good will have to have a look at the hope 1 and the AYUP.

+1 for Magic Shine. No probs with mine so far. Had it since September last year and used it most days.

Very bright for the money.

Ive just bought electron terra 2 for 89.00 big bucks, cant say what there like but ive read some good reviews about them for the commuter. They looked bright enough when i looked at them in the shop.

Are the magic shines adjustable or just set on 800 lumens. What sort of run time do you get?

I only know about the 1400 version, you can set the power level to between 5% and 100%, they quote run times of 2 hours to 250 hours depending on power level.

My magic shine has 3 settings , hi -mid-flash , you can get 5 mode ones as well.

Plenty of bang for your buck and can be had for around £50 if you are prepared to wait a few weeks for import.

I think I have made my decision it is the magic shine, now to decide which one the MJ 816 or MJ 808. Most of my riding is road riding on a country lane. Anti e have the rear light as well if so how do you rate it?
