Cree t6 ordered

[crazyjoe101]

Could do with newer cooler case but like everything money .......

I shelled out on a nice case but got cheap, nasty and noisy fans just so I had something which worked; I'll upgrade it all after Christmas. (And now to sneak in some on-topic content ) Like cycling, enthusiast computing can be expensive, which is what's good about things like the T6 light.

No worries

The light on the back goes red??

Yea when the battery gets low, but it doesn't give you long, you do get a green/amber/red type thing but its difficult to see change, the only draw back, as more expensive lights give more warning.

Don't charge overnight. Charge where you can keep an eye on them. I charge mine in a tin box on the garage floor. Look at the t6 thread within accessories for all you need to know.

Cree tested this morning........
What a difference I'm sure there are lights out there 100x better, for the price what a light!!

Even more effective this evening full beam used down the single unlite road, it wears almost as good as driving down there so far so impressed

You're making me jealous. I have a diffused lens sitting on my desk but no light yet lol.

Couple of tips for the Cree T6 - firstly, make sure you disconnect the light from the battery when you're not using it, rather than just turning light off, else the battery drains in no time. Secondly, tighten the screw onto the mounting bracket regularly - I've had the light come off twice when riding, fortunately haven't lost the screw yet! Otherwise it's a great purchase for the price.

Cracking lights, I had a bus flashing me from about a mile away when I first fitted it. I have since angled it down :-)

I've just had a look at the Cree and is it just a front light? If so what rear lights are you guys running?

I use a couple of Cateyes, if you want a blinding rear light that runs off a battery pack then @fossyant will hopefully be along to say what star powered rears he has.

Cheers, just looking at putting an order in on Amazon so wanted to get it all at the same time (although I think they might be sold via independant sellers). Which model of cateye do you have? Looking at getting some lights for my new commute which is ten miles each way

2 x C&BSeen big rear lights plus 2 Smart R2's (new model). The C&B lights run of the same batteries as the T6/U2 lights.
