Lights. CREE XML XM-L T6 / U2 etc Thread

[I like Skol]

My X2 has arrived. £18 delivered and I am pleased to say it is a SolarStorm branded item so at least appears to be the real deal. Came complete with battery, charger and battery holster. Looking forward to trying it out

Get thee way behind me. I will not yield to temptation!

Sure you said that last time

Must say, riding the Fallowfield Loop, you do need good lights. Yes you can see another cyclist from miles away, but the ped and his none reflective dog, does need the lights, until you can knock them off as they are near you.

Cats are easy to spot miles off. Mr Fox is like a dog, so mega lumens makes them move off. My first fox spot on the Fallowfield loop tonight,

So cruel to remind me of my failings

Not used it yet, just fitted it to the cx bike and tested it works.

Might stick it on the other bike next to the X2 to blind skolly in the morning

Funnily enough I have one in my locker for spare

Anyway he has his miserly X2 on this morning, could hardly see it

Got an XML T6 in the mail yesterday, it came with a headband & headband mount, a bar mount, a charger, a battery, and a wee rear light (which, for free, is a pretty good wee light with some good flashing patterns)

Sadly the bar mount is too thin for my road bike bars, but for £18 I can't really complain.

The poor mounting is one of my main gripes with the light, on the last page or the page before a kind user pasted a link to a universal mount you could use, I'd relink but it's a bit of a faff on the mobile.

I don't need 'sorting out'. It's Potsy that keeps ducking rides even though he has superior lights

This mornings mud fest night time off-road commute was a revelation. New light I likey!

I think he needs to test his lights off road at Clayton Vale.

I'll keep an ear/eye out for any reported light wars up North shall I?
