Tom Booth Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Killed it. Bars and lid, for the price of the cree lights it's daft not too, kinda reassuring that if something packed up I had a second to rely on aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Makes sense. Having got back from my ride I reckon if you were to ride solo most of the time a second light would be a necessity. Speaking of which.... Minus 2 on the hill tonight but fireworks going off all over the valley so a pretty special night to be out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the wide angle one on my helmet, and the fixed beam jobbie pointing about 6ft in front of the bike. Ill get a photo next time I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yep I use one bars one Lid light. I find the lid only can bounce so much on rough terran that you get blackouts every now and again, with the addition of the more stable bar light those blackouts are filled in with the bar light, but cant ride without a helmet light as it allows you to see down drops, jupms and round corners. When the fog gets really thick you can only run the bar mount as the high lid mount will render you blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 i acquired a single led one today, i also have a 4 led one, the difference isn't as dramatic as i expected but i'm looking forward to having both run simultaneously for a massive spread of light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Forgot to mention, I bought one of those lights that was linked earlier in this topic. Got it mounted on my bars as already have a head torch which is a bit more powerful. Good combo. Nice one whoever posted it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I need a front light for my fixie... Using a cheap one which is only designed to be spotted by cars, not to be seen. It's fairly tidy but not enough to see well in the dark. I was looking at a cateye nano + http://www.cateye.com/intl/products/detail/HL-EL625RC/ Which supposedly gives you a very good view in the dark: You don't need a battery pack for it and it's a bit sleeker than the eBay one you guys are raving about. I can see how the eBay one is good for MTB, because I may get one for my Lapierre. But for a my commuter/fixie, I think it'll be too bulky especially with all the wiring... Any ideas what may be good? The cateye is ideal but price tag is a fair hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) just get the ebay one; the light comes in a bag that hangs nicely under your stem and you can always tidy up the cable with a zip tie.

isitafox Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Agreed, I use mine on my road bike for commuting. I still have all the lead cable tied together and just strap the battery under the stem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Why settle for 1 led when you can have 49https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYxrpHTEEEQ#t=239 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
