    Your link is broken, please fix it. 🙂

  3. They only seem to have "you see me" lights and a couple weak "I see you" lights..

    You are bettor of going to DealExtreme: Cool Gadgets at the Right Price - Site-Wide Free Shipping (Page 1) or kaidomain.com and get lights from them.
    Just remember they have long delivery times
    Sometime up to 3 weeks before they send out the items ordered if they are in stock and longer for items not in stock. Kaidomain is a bit more expensive but they ship faster.

    You can get a P7 bike light that is as powerful as a car headlight with helmet mounts for about $80 including shipping.

    Or you can get a good p7 or MCE or XPG-R5 flashlight with batteries, charger and bike mount for
    less than $50 delivered.

    P7 is a strong wide beam light. (the strongest but tend to loss brightness quickly)
    MCE also strong and wide not as powerful as a P7 but tend to last longer.
    XP-G R5 is the newest and most power efficient light available to date, not as wide beam, very powerful narrow beam.

    Worth mentioning, always get protected batteries.

  4. Magicshine 900 - 900 lumen Lightset [MJ-808 Magicshine 900] - $84.99 : GeoMan Gear, The best products, the best prices, & Lightnin Fast service!

    This is the hot thing at the moment.

    Do a search on candlepowerforums

    Also do a search here for Fenix L2D CE

  5. To the OP: the lights on that site looking mighty unimpressive.

    As for other lights.....a light's power output is only part of what makes a good light. A good light also requires proper beam shape, weather protection, good batteries, and good connections. Beam shape, though, it absolutely key.

    +1

    I purchased this light in early November 2009, and after a few months of use have nothing but praise for it. After my first ride with a friend, he immediately ordered one, and then a friend of his purchased the light as well. No complaints from any of us. I honestly believe you cannot find a better light for even triple the price. You can find the Magicshine a bit cheaper on another website, but I would stick with GeoManGear.com for fast shipping and great customer service.
