Nice, just need second battery for longer rides.
I've got a single T6 cree one that I power with an 8400mah power bank cable tied on. Get about an hour and half to two hours use.
With headphones on at night everything certainly feels a lot faster and more exciting, until I start thinking what else is lurking in the woods!
Camera wise, got go pro session but they just can't handle low light very well.
A clear full moon night might help?

SW I don't know why you are still using the Cree light SW. You should also try riding off road one evening and film it. :)



Look at my Fenix BT20 for comparison. Taken two nights ago.



My word, that trustfire multi cree led light, more power than car headlights? Anyone got one able to report if it's that good?
Since writing the piece below, I don't use cheapo Cree lights at all any more.

1 Cree

The rear light of the bike in front has thrown the camera sensor off, so makes them look darker. A nice wet rainy evening spent off road. The 3.50 mark is riding up a stream bed, but it doesn't show it too well.



2 single Cree lights.


4 Cree


4 Cree plus 1 Cree


And the superb Fenix BT20. I have now ditched the original battery pack in favour of carrying two, six cell 18650 packs.

its ok but could be better just with the sj4000 i dont think any light will be bright enough.

it was only 10 quid off ebay and good enough that i can see but thats about it.

Phill, you really wouldn't want the strobe on. It is evil! :D

You can pick up a Fenix BT20 for about £60.00 now, but it really does eat battery packs, and the two cell holder that it comes with doesn't seem to last five minutes.

I found a really good light a while back, which I think SRS might have bought, but haven't yet heard if it was worth the money.

It could just be the perfect light, especially given how much off road night riding that I do. http://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/lights/magicshine-eagle-m2-2400-light-review



SW, it isn't all about the brightness of a light, it is about the spread of the beam.

The correct grade thread lock be thy friend :)
Those torque settings must be online somewhere?
Have you tried the Pedelecs forum? Oh! I'll shut up!!
