My word, that trustfire multi cree led light, more power than car headlights? Anyone got one able to report if it's that good?
How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

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?
How about using a cheap car dash cam with duct tape?!
(Sorry - but I do have a reputation for improvising...)
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.

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.

Since writing the piece below, I don't use cheapo Cree lights at all any more.

Depends what you want from a ride. Riding three to four nights a week, I see the Cree lights as too much of a compromise, as the spot beam isn't a lot of good off road.
Phill, you really wouldn't want the strobe on. It is evil!
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.

try get a rc plane batt http://alshobbies.com/shop/cat.php?id=155
they just get a tad expensive for the bigger 1s and explode if you over charge them or get to hot and catch fire.

Ready for another night ride. Seems a shame not to get out and make the most of the good weather.
That'll be two bikes to clean tomorrow then.
SW, Pedros are another very good tyre lever, and I certainly rate mine. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/pedros-tyre-lever/rp-prod10042
