Read the T6 thread, but be aware these are a bit bright for the roads, so you need a low mode.

 

[young Ed]

Hi Ed.

I have an electron terra 1 light that is bright and has a fairly narrow beam so great for road use if your interested? I am looking for £25 plus £5 postage as battery is heavyish.

 

[young Ed]

Hi,
Pretty much, it's quite concentrated so is great as a be seen and see potholes light on the roads but it would be no good for off-road or dark country roads as it's not wide enough to light the sides.

 

[young Ed]

sorry it's a no then as i don't go anywhere near towns 95% of the time only on quiet dark country roads that might as well be called tracks with rubble dumped on them!
Cheers Ed
