Man, they are bright in a dark garage but I can't wait to dazzle some slow moving motorists.

hah. I want to test my new lights too. the past few nights I've not been able to get to sleep and I've been contemplating going out for a night ride just to use them...then decide I like my warm bed too much

 

[ChrisKH]

Must get new light, but need new tyres and mudguards first. Any cheap Hope lights going out there somewhere?

 

[beanzontoast]

I'm quite content to let it stay light as long as possible. I've bought in my winter's supply of batteries ready for commuting both ways in darkness though. Ho hum...

Is the flashlight the same as this one?

[Tynan]

dazzling motorists is no more clever than them riding with full beam, it's bad and rude and even dangerous

i rode home at 10pm last night, that said London always has street lights so it's mostly a hi viz type affair

 

[scouserinlondon]

just ordering a fenix torch, mount, batteries and charger now. Via Deal Extreme so eff knows whether they'll ever get here.

 

[scouserinlondon]

can somebody link me up to DX rechargable battery which will work in the L2D?

Draw up a chair, son, and sit by my knee, and I'll tell you about when to use "if" and when to use "whether"...

Surely this is an example of a post expressionist passive subjunctive, in which case....It's like TOTALLY right dude.

If I'm right it uses 2AA batteries, chinese AA's are not that good, try 7day shop for rechargeables, if not the DX site is easy to navigate

 

[blxm]

Yes, Tony B we are talking about the same torch.
My ride to work is pretty rough so I fully expect the holder to loosen, roll back and then dazzle myself from the handlebars.

I suppose that'll learn me if that *were* to happen.

I lost my Fenix L2D in the pouring rain in Bangkok last week....

It fell off the bike.
