Those solar storms are quite good. My yinding U2 goes red after a while, but can run on for at least 30 minutes on low, so long as you switch it down.

Ah well you won't have this issue when your pack turns up. Tried to post it via work, but couldn't find the post guy all day, won't fit through the post box at home, so will take to sorting office tomorrow.
I am planning running two fronts off my pack. One t6 and a 2xU2 off a splitter. These will be using the 3400 panasonics which have at least twice the juice of the cheap packs.
Dude we need wiring diagrams and actual pics of your setup. I want to run two cree's from one super pack like you.

You just need a 'Y' splitter cable Kies, 1 end into the battery and then the 2 coming off it into the lights

I'd like to get a light like this but to be honest the choices are a bit daunting. A single T6 light seems like a tried and tested solution but there are newer U2 lights now however they seem to have very few reviews. Then there's the choice between a x2 unit or a normal one, and replacement batteries.
Does anyone have any advice? I was thinking it might be best to start off with a single bulb unit and then I can add another light or upgrade the batteries later, I'm not sure if I should go for a T6 or a U2 though. I also intend to use the diffusing lens so perhaps a x2 unit would rule this out.
Thanks for any advice guys.

Any links for such a cable .... And then i need a beefier battery pack? How does that work? Do i take one of mine apart and upgrade the batteries? I'm no stranger to a soldering iron and a multimeter

A week in with the Cree. When it arrived the indicator on the lamp was blue, but I didnt trust that and charged it overnight. The LED on the charger never went green (stayed yellow) and when I put the battery back on the light, the light indicator stayed blue. Anyway, the light worked fine,on constantly an hour there and back,and the indicator stayed blue. Today I rode to work, charged the battery for two hours, but the LED on the back of the lamp started flashing red as I neared home. But the light didn't go out. Its back on charge as I write, but I'm puzzled. Can I trust it?

You could get all the connections from maplins, or I've just had a look on ebay

I've got a single T6 on the way with a C & B seen diffuser on the way, looked like the best option.

Given your lights collection, does this mean next year should be new lights-free?
I may have been browsing lightmalls.com and pressed a button or two.
Whoops.

@fossyant Turned up today thanks,works brilliantly on one light, but not on the other, but saying that I can't inter change the batteries I got with them either. (I wonder if one of them is wired the wrong way round?)
3400 batteries all charged and ready to use tonight, thanks again.

One could be a smaller pin. Most lights are the magicshine 'size' but a few are a little smaller. One pin is 2.1mm the other 2.3mm, but I can't remember which. You can get adapters from Maplin. It could indeed be wired differently.
