Thought about that, I live in High WYcombe - it's bloody lumpy! I need all me power going to the wheels. When i'm off-road @ night i don't go that quick (due to lumpyness again) - lights dim

fair enough, I got some from halfords about 4 years ago and they still work well now, well worth it IMO, only cost something like £20 and still going strong, thats value for money

I got that one above, compact and bright, but not re-chargeble.

My mate has a twin light set up, it comes with a bag for the battery pack, and its proper bright, and re-chargable, but I cant find a link for it.

I've just bought some lights for my new bike too. Bought the Cateye HL-EL500 SuperBright (Front) and the Cateye TL-AU100 BS (Rear). Write-ups and recomendations say they are extremely bright, light and what more can you expect. I got mne from Cylce Express for a bit less than everyone else is selling them currently

I've got the Cateye ABS 20, excelent, though you do have to remember to charge them also when the do run out of juice they go very quickly. I carry a small LED light to get me home when I get caught short.
