I did ask for a kit review board, but to no avail, so this'll have to go here...
I bought this light from Tredz for £30. I had the first opportunity to try it out tonight and I am impressed, especially at the price.
It uses a Go-Pro style mount and the reviews I read weren't so sure about it, and I have to agree to a point.
I'm mounting it on curved bars which isn't ideal as it isn't the best way to seat it properly, so the light does move around a bit. I suspect it would seat better on straighter bars. However, it throws out an impressive amount of directed light - yes directed light, not the star-power, light up the whole horizon, burn the retinas of oncoming cyclists, cheap lights that seem to get recommended on here - so that other road users aren't dazzled by the light which is cast onto the road, where you need it. I was travelling at 20MPH on a completely dark bridleway and was able to spot a ped in full stealth mode clothing long before I approached him.
It's rechargeable via a USB cable, so I can top up at work. The other negative is battery life, and some reviews say it only manages 90 or so minutes on full power, which is what I'll be using quite a bit of the time. I'll switch it over to pulse mode when in town to save battery life, so that the switch is lit up and I can quickly locate it it to power up.
So, it has its faults, but for the price it's great value.
