I have magic shine 900 lumen lights. i got them from dealextreme on line from the states, paid 45-50 quid for them. you can now get them on ebay for around £32. well worth double the money.

Tally ho lads over the top we go!

Was talking about this today. would be good to get some night riding in.

I found this earlier:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cycle-Front-Light-Bright-900-1200-Lumen-Rechargeable-/120790600841?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Cycling_Bike_Lights&hash=item1c1fae4c89#ht_1353wt_1185

Dont know if its a rip off of Magicshine or the real deal. Anyway i think i may purchase one.

Deal extreme has got a UK warehouse now so it not going to take six weeks.

I got a MJ-808 HA-III SSC P7-C last year new improve battery LCD battery power left and T6 Water Resistant XML-T6 3-Mode 1200-Lumen
beam partition on the T6 is small so that's on my lid and MJ-808 on bars. good mix.

If going to buy one out of the two would got for MJ-808much larger spread beam partition.

Edit:
In WMB and mountain biking UK there a review on lights pop into WHS have a read. What your budget?

I have the 808 with the improved battery. Don't forget you'll need a US to UK adapter for the charger or buy a new UK transformer.

Just bought these....

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/p7-water-resistant-ssc-p7-3-mode-1200-lumen-white-led-bike-light-with-battery-pack-set-82734

Two of them. I appreciate the build quality will probably be a bit worse than magicshine but i didnt have a great budget and i dint think one would be enough as the bean is quite narrow.

Two for under £60 delivered is pretty good i think. I will let you know what they are like when i get them.

Well only ordered them Tues. They may come tomorrow. Yeah I am not sure if the were in the uk warehouse or not. On some of the listings it does say to 'click here' for european delivery from our uk warehouse, but iit doesn't say it on this one. I don't think it will be here tomorrow but you never know. I will let you know if I do.
