now you see my problem or lack of it at speed you just can not see far enough at speed with them as they dont out put what they say they do.

even down the canal the speed im going in the dark if some one is going the same way buy the time i see them with the light i have it will be to late to even try braking and splat.

maybe if you lot stopped hooning around forests in the middle of the night up to your armpits in muck you`d find d8vehs light more than adequate,

eh??!

Well I disagree, for the not so fast among us it's perfect, so perfect that av just ordered another one, I ride along the canal at 6.30am and it's pitch black, this wee light lights up the path very well and on the way home at 5.30pm I use the strobe function just as a wee eye-catcher.

I think it's the "one Light solution" that's the problem. In the past my best has been one on the bike and one on my helmet. The bike light illuminating the general direction of travel and the helmet light lighting up where I am looking...

I haven't said that it isn't perfect for that use. I agree that it is, and still recommend buying one.
If you took the time to actually read what I have written, then you would have noticed that.

I know what you are saying, but it has never been an issue with the Fenix.

Sadly as said before, a helmet light would never work for my use. It would just become a liabity in respect of head strikes. Also when riding in a group, the issue then becomes having to either turn the light off when stopping for what ever reason, or not looking directly at other riders in the group. It doesn't sound much, but it would soon become an annoyance.

Sadly I guess that everything is ultimately a compromise.

There is no point owning an eMTB if you aren't going to use it for six months of the year. Some of us have to work in the day time, so night ridng is the only option.

Besides, life is too short not to get out and play.

I can not see why those $300 each lights perform better than the £16 one you bought off ebay?

They look the same.

A mystery.

Hey SW have you sorted the lights out yet? Or are you staying in at night?
Have just ordered this to replace the one that was nicked, and will end up with 2 crapy battery packs in place of the 4 good cells and battery box you recommended .

Phill what's the beam like on the light?

 

[Gubbins]

Very bright . I rode the canal towpath with plenty of illumination. All the dog walkers stopped and turned their backs to me.. ignorant lot!
If I get out tomorrow night I will take a photo, but for the price it is good
