The Use is not cheap over here either but it is UK made and goes out at a comparable price to the Cheaper imports from the US. For Offroading at speed on the Tandem it is just about good enough. Plus we have the helmet lamps aswell. BUT on the road- it is fantastic. I do not go for 8 hour night rides but I only use low power on the road and that is plenty powerfull enough. Round towns I can definitely be seen with it and When I lose the street lights- I can see adequately. Mid power is Too much use -except on the MUPS and when I go to searchlight power- It is daylight.
