I just had this drop through the post - Will get some pics up soon. It's looks the same as the one I bought last year but the LED is smaller.

For £20 though it's a bargain.

I'd like to see pics.

Has it got the orange peel reflector or smooth?

 

[Downward]

Both have Orange Peel reflectors - whats the significance ?

 

[djb1971]

Smooth reflectors have a hot spot and orange peel have wider spread of light.

Have you tried them? What's your thoughts?

I had my old one today on strobe as it wasn't dark to light up the road just something to be seen.

Hopefully another few weeks until dark commutes yet.

does it come with the battery and sundries as well? My original head unit ie that one you linked to is broken, so have good battery pack but no light! Was swithering about buying another or buy the small torches instead, they are neater .

Flashing lights don't have to meet the standard but they must:

• flash at a rate of one to four equal flashes per second
• be at least four candelas in brightness

Does that make some of the flashing light modes, including strobe and random not legal on a cycle?

You won't beat these cree lights for lumen/buck. I have two for night rides which gives me four levels of light and/or flashing with change for a tenner. My partner has another pair and I know folks with more. Can be safely removed in a second. Not a disaster if something happens to them. Each takes 3xAAA. I use rechargeables. They last ...

Why spend more?

best rear light I have come across is this Cateye rear light. It has 270 Degree round visibilty

It's not bad, but it's not a touch on Gaz's Dinotte 400. If you put the two lights side-by-side and on at night, you wouldn't be able to see the Cateye.

I'll second that, have had one for 2 years now. Well thought out bit of kit and works brilliantly.

The police were too busy sorting out the flooding and accidents to care and better for me to be seen in heavy rain

was hoping you could answer my question further up, I assume this light you got came with a battery as well? IF so then that's a good price and I may just order one myself to replace my dud one !

Err ................. to get a much better light? Eg Exposure Max D. It's as good as my car headlights. The only thing better would be x2 of them.

What's the price tag on an exposure max d? £250+ ? Crazy
