Thanks for drawing my attention to bike lights and my obsession and heckles about them! You are lucky to see any light with 99% of the cyclists round my way. Lots of ninjas and full team kits though!
It's a great price but for a road cyclist is downright stupid. Excessively bright and heavy with the external battery pack. Unnecessary
However it persuaded me to have a look at what else is on offer. They have this
Jobsworth Asterion USB Rechargeable Front Light http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIJOMNSU/jobsworth-asterion-usb-rechargeable-front-light
Which to my amateur eye and comparison is an almost exact copy of the Moon Meteor 200 - Planet X are claiming 400 lumens. It's definitely bright!
Add to basket apply code PXSLS55 and the price is £11.25 delivered. You will pay a fiver for replacement Moon mounts and this comes with 3 almost identical replicas.
Save yourself £20 or whatever - if you are a general roadie / commuter.
But any light is better than none!!!

). At the moment I use a mega lumen front light with external power source, but have it on a lower setting and that will probably last 3 hours (2 trips to work and 1 home). A self contained usb light would be easier to charge up, even if it needed to be done after each journey. These seem pretty cheap, but wouldn't be if they were not up to the job. Most of the route is on A class roads and the traffic is not hanging around (and usually not paying much attention at 5am!). I'd be glad to know if I'm better off saving my money and using what I already have.
