Hope that you have a 6x 8650 battery pack with that light, and not a 4 x 8650 battery pack.

Front lights, I have a Fenix BT20 for road use use. The light is too yellow to give clear definition off road, but this colouring makes it very good for road use.

For off road use, I have a 4 cree 5200lm light that I bought, used once, then stashed away in the back of a cupboard never to be used again, as I prefer using two in number 1 cree 1,800lm lights. Unless the ride is fast downhill, I only ever operate one light at a time though, as I find that just one lamp gives more than enough light for my use. I also use 6 x 8650 battery packs with both lights, as the 4x packs struggle to last an evening of riding.

On the rear, I just one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Waterproof-Bicycle-Cycling-Front-Rear-Tail-Helmet-Red-Flash-Lights-Safety-Wa-/131370047182?var=&hash=item1e9643d6ce Cheap as chips, and do the job perfectly. You do have to tighten/check the screw that fastens the rubber strap though. I didn't figure that one out until two lights later!

i got the x4 batt with mine but 2hrs more than enough tho will get the x6 if i get another 1 ;)

i got the rear laser on but had to put it on my seat post so now will not go down all the way.

is there anything that i could put the light a bit lower say on the dropper post but needs to be wider then the 1 i have or more adjustable.

No lights are legal, but having no lights is more illegal.

Those laser lights are brilliant. I have one. When you put the lasers on, it seems to confuse overtaking cars, so they slow down and keep well clear. The LED light bit is also very good. It's bright and has a much wider angle than most.

Just bought a diffuser and premium mounting bracket for my cheap Chinese cree light but am having difficulty mounting on the bars with all the other claptrap on there. I have seen a mention or two on here about extra mounting bars for such things but can't find to re visit where I saw it....
Googling hasn't been any help either. ...
