winter is nearly here and the nights are getiing darker so having just read this months bike mags reviews i am not paying £250+ on some lights.

so those who bought the cheapo light from china a year or so ago for around £40 i seem to remember are they still working etc?

got any beam shots like in the mags

over to you guys cheers

Had my '900 lumen' DX Extreme lights for 2.5 years now and still going strong.

Bought some of the 1200 lumen jobs last year and they are still good too.

No beam shots, but the 1200 on the bars and 900 on me head is more than enough light to do a lap of Cannock Chase in the dark in the same time I do it during the day.

Can't beat them bang per buck

Most of the guys I ride with on Thursday evenings use them and my mate has just received his 1000 lumen set up for about £45 - cannot go wrong. Super bright white light!

Bugger. I've just ordered one of those from Deal Extreme for about a quid less. Delivery will be much longer on it though. Sod.  It's the 1200 lumen version (though probably about 8-900 in actuality).  Apparently it's a spot rather than a flood.

And you'll have yours first so can you let me know what it's like? Ta.

No mate not arrived yet, ebay says they have been dispatched though.
