Seeing more and more T6 lights. Most folk have them pointed down as there is a huge pool of light in front of the bike. Seen at least two on the short 6 mile drive home. Not dazzling to the driver (me at the minute) when aimed down.

That's how I'm doing it, on full but aimed down (a bit) to stop the dazzle, not been flashed yet so assuming it's OK.

Loads of them in Leicester, I've even sat on the wheel of someone on a pitch black stretch when my cheap battery ran out on me and used the light of his T6 to see where I was going.
I've had one cyclist complain to me about the light, when I got home I realised I hadn't put it back in the correct place on the bars after washing the bike and it had bounced up as I was riding along.

You need 18650 batteries. Either torchy on ebay or battery station. Ideally get protected ones, about 2600 mah or higher. The higher the mah the more expensive. I have Senybor 2800 protected and some Panasonic 3400 but not protected.
The batteries are big buggers, like AAs on steroids. Avoid Chinese imports like Trustfire as these are often rebadged second hand ex laptop cells and not much good. 18650 is the key number. Some are 18700 but that's because they are a little longer sometimes.

Check your lead fits before buying batteries though, didn't someone say their's didn't fit?I'll just but the ones Potsy got-good enough for Potsy, good enough for me.
