OK, so the one I'm about to buy that I posted will not take 52V supply and melt despite saying it can take 12V-80V DC?

Buy two and connect in series? If one does work at 52V, you've got a spare. Brighter with two.

Spec says 12V-80V. Any shite from them and it will go back!

Buy two, they'll get 26V each connected in series, and the road surface ahead will be nice and bright. Their beams are wider than the smaller ebay ones, there will be a more even illumination. The narrower beams are useful for projecting light further out ahead, more useful for motorbike speeds. I don't need to adjust mine when going downhill fast anymore, they're positioned just right for fast or slow. Easy to tilt/turn while riding.

Real estate was probably a deciding factor too.

The cheapo carbon extension bar I bought kept slipping with anything substantially heavier than nothing attached. My Minoura is a lot better. The design of the new Minoura extension bar looks tighter clamping - mine is tightened using the bolt, up to point. Tighten too much, and you can't attach using the clasp. On the new one, looks like they've dispensed with the clasp, and all tightening is done via the bolt. The bar can be oriented vertically: simply undo another bolt and swivel, then tighten that bolt.
