Thats's aweome!

My mini review: The light is bright, but it gives a very wide beam so lights up a considerable area, penetration and distance aren't as much as I expected, it lasted 2hrs 40 mins on the double light, although I'm unable to tell the difference in strength with option 1 and option 3 (1 is top light, 3 is both), so I expect I'll get 3+ hours out of option 1.

I also have a CREE XML T6 1800 Lumen light, this provides a heavily focussed beam, so I'm pleased that I have a balance of the two, I'll be using the new light on the handlebars so I can see more surroundings and the focussed beam is perfect for my helmet.

A UK plug was supplied, rather than an adapter, but I'll continue with my usual routine of only charging it on the floor away from anything, when I'm in the same room.

For a measly £28 I'm really impressed and delivery was pretty quick too.

Yeah I've ordered one of the 3600 ones. Need to get a strip of velcro now to mod the head strap I got with one of my other lights to be a helmet mount.

I've been thinking about lights for the past few week. I plan to order a one for my bars and one for my lid. Any recommendations?

Are you ordering it all from lightmall, was hopping to shop with a uk retailer incase of warranty issues.

At 26 quid delivered from hongkong for a light, spare battery, charger and 2 mounts im not overly concerned with warrenties. At that sort of price I can get one a year and still be better off after 10 years.

For a UK seller, consider http://www.MagicShineNI.com/Lights.php. I sell from Northern Ireland but ship free to all of the UK - tracked with the PostOffice. Ive been selling them for nearly 2 years now with most of my customers in England and Wales.
Pay securely with PayPal and receive goods quickly rather than waiting 3 weeks from China.

Well that's my brief sales pitch done.
Thanks for reading,
Adrian

Hmm www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/selling-buying/ ... t1943.html
Got my 3600 lumen today. Not as well built as my magicshine but for £37 it's bloody bright! Came with a uk charger (but the plastic pin that should go in the earth at the socket had snapped off). Definitely not road legal now!

Ah crap that's me getting a slap on the wrists now :(.
FWIW I ride with several people who have the cheaper lights and they do a great job, but the battery packs are a bit sketchy. How's the 3600 lumens? You'll have helicopters trying to land on you ;)
