I've got the same light. Very bright indeed, lights up the trails. It will vaporise anyone coming towards you though. :tongue:
Did you get it from the same guy or did you find it cheaper?

Direct from China last year. Took ages though. Usually takes max three to four weeks. The batteries won't run this light on full for more than an hour. Low mode is one T6 on full, so you only get three hours max. It's a big trail light, you will need a backup. I don't recommend it for roads. Look at the small 2xU2 lights as they can run at lower brightness for road.

Good to know. I shall exercise more patience!

I got these as winter commute/training lights, and as backups to the CYO IQ B&M dyno lights on my Audax bike.

Just been out for 45 mins, and strangely enough cars now dip for me, and some even pull over and stop. I wonder if them going full beam at me then realising mine were brighter was a contributing factor?

:whistle:

That moon looks very similar to the tiny twin light I got for £35. Even the optics are very similar.

Pros and cons. I still use my two expensive Hope 1s for road commutes,they have bomb proof quality, but off road light, then the Chinese cheap lights can't be beat.
I always have my Moon or Lezyne as well as my cheap T6, good to know there is backup for if they fail.
Tempted by the U2's though :whistle:
