Recommend me a front light

[jdrussell]

Hi,

As the nights are starting to get darker and my front light has recently broken, can anyone give me some guidance on what front light to get.

I have been looking at these:

Thanks.

I'm in exactly the same predicament!

Not sure about the KNOG Boomer via the link though - every light I've had has malfunctioned due to water getting in.

I've seen this one: Cat Eye HL-EL135 LED

Can anyone shed any light on this model (pardon the pun! )

Well I have just gone for the knog gekko, then later I will go for something better when I have some more cash.

Probably this

Sorry for putting this thread here, oops.

Yes. It's the big brother of my original lights (and very similar). I wouldn't buy either the knog or that for my primary light. Not too horrific to-be-seen light but then I had two of them that made a big difference over just having one. Single knogs aren't that good either.

Not sure if they are available in the UK, but I really like my Princeton Tec EOS.
