Been looking for one of these at a decent price CRC seems the cheapest, not a huge saving but a very useful bit of kit imo, especially this time of year with the dark commutes.

I don't like these helmet lights. As a driver (and cyclist) I find them confusing. Too high and if the cyclist is turning their head it's takes a few seconds to work out what's going on. That's why I don't use one when cycling.

Heat for the deal.
Going off at a tangent slightly... I was driving past a cyclist today and he had a front light fitted to his bike that was amazingly bright and huge.
I wanted to stop and ask him what light it was but traffic was too busy.
Anybody got any ideas?
Could be smart lights I find these best and good value for money, not a great fan of cateye.

Most likely using Cree led bulbs and lithium ion batteries; a quantum leap compared to lights from when I was a kid.
I have some and a dog walker stopped me along the canal path to ask me the same question as he couldn't believe how bright they were, even after I'd pointed them down so as not to blind him.

Thanks for the heads up (no pun intended). Its been price-matched in Halfords so I've just reserved one.

New record for me. Had two very bright front lights on my bike and the woman who pulled out of the road going across the cycleway didn't see me until I'd stopped literally inches from her car window...

Everyday occurrence unfortunately, was coming home last night, a woman BACKED out of a side road, into the main road I was on, without stopping straight in front of me, missed her by inches, some of these things just have to be seen to be believed, I could go on, but.......

These look about the right size and probably what I seen.
Why are they no good?

Generally very poor quality, leak, short out and lights not always all they're cracked up to be.
Just my experience and opinion, would always go with 'smart' now.

Rather than blaming motorists you need to be more alert. Keep your vision up and spot things earlier rather than having near misses - very simple, sharpen up son.
