LED lights?
Does anyone have one of these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/SALE-SALE-CYGOLI...item518dccb8c0 I just bought one. MTBR has pretty good reviews and the price is significantly lower than a lot of the online stores. I didn't know if it was really any good because sometimes the reviews on mtbr suck. I needed it because the headlight is out on my car and I am too lazy to get a new bulb. I was going to buy the cigarette lighter charger for it. |
This light is the way to go for brightness and price. I have two and they're great.

Did you say your headlight went out on your car and you wanna use a bike light for your driving?

Nice! How easy is it to remove when it comes time to lock up? Can it be removed 2 - 3x daily without wearing down the components?

yep super easy battery pack attaches on the stem with Velcro and light goes in the handle bar with a thick rubber band and attaches securely. Rubber band doesn't sound to secure but it is, also my niterider uses the same rubberband attachment. |
for singletrack, is it reasonable to just use one? or is it necessary to have two? also, is it possible to mount one to a helmet somehow in the latter case?

I am fairly new to the night time riding but after a few rides I learned that it's best to have light on the helmet and handle bar but if you only have one for two reasons I say go with the helmet mount.
First, if you are climbing steep and techical trail you are never tracking a straight line, your handle bar moves side to side every second that makes it hard to see what's directly a head of you. Second, as you are coming down it ables you to see around the bend much easier. |
I'm new to the night riding as well (at least with a light) and have been using the Princeton Tec Switchback 3 with the helmet mount. I'd like to get a lighter bar mounted led to augment, but don't think its totally necessary. It is so fun riding familiar trails at night - adds a great twist.

Just a joke. I am getting ready to do some 12/24 hour races and need a light for that as well as I commute to work and I work night shift and it is dark now when I have to leave at 5:30.

I got the light yesterday it seems to be high quality and throws a good beam. Pretty pleased so far. It's raining here so I have not used it yet.
