Anyone need lighting

For those who don't often visit Torpedo7, they are flogging a handy
looking bike light for $74(AUD).

That's not bad. If only they'd add another $5 to the price and make the
charger something more than a device to slow broil the battery.. 🙁

For the price, it still looks a good buy. I think the big downside is
that the non smart charger will fry the battery in less than a year
unless the user takes pains to minimise overcharge. Annoyingly, it's
really simple and cheap to charge these things properly, but the
lower end stuff always scrimps on this bit. 🙁
