A really good cycle light at this price point. Often compared to the Cateye Volt1200 (which is much more expensive) Reviews are really good for both units, although at £69.99 delivered i think the Lexyne model is very tempting. With the evenings getting darker as we head towards the end of the year, it might be worth considering this if you cycle a lot, especially down unlit county lanes and such. It's nice to be able to check power levels when out an about too.
It is a closed unit that can be charged with USB wall adaptor or even a micro USB cable. As you'll see below the beam is said to give really good peripheral lighting, which i found is backed up by the reviews. Maybe one for your shortlist if you're shopping around for new lights. Just to be clear, this is for just the Front light only.
Product info
The Lezyne Deca Drive is designed with a sleek CNC-sculpted aluminum body in a compact, self-contained configuration. It features Constant Lumens power management that drives three LEDs at a steady and bright 800 lm.
Overdrive Race Mode makes it possible for quick switching between Overdrive and Economy, and its Infinite Light design allows for on-demand battery replacement. The Intelligent Power Indicator button allows the user to check the power level any time. It is recharged either with fast, high efficiency, 2 Amp recharging with a compatible wall adaptor, or via a Micro USB cable for ultimate convenience. The Deca Drive’s Composite Matrix hard mounts secure the light to 31.8mm and 25.4mm handlebars. Primarily designed for road cyclists, the Deca Drive is powerful enough for unlit paths and dark lanes.The lens provides a strong beam focused about 10m away as well as good peripheral light.

This Elite SuperCrono Mag Force Bundle looks pretty decent for what you get too, at £99.99 with the above code. Comes with a block, Sweat guard and water bottle too. Decent for indoor training throughout the winter months. You can get that Here

I use a CREE torch from ebay The ones with a wide front £9 plus a handlebar mount £3 it uses one 18650 battery, the beam is IMO as bright as any fancy cycle light even the ones with massive under frame battery packs and lights the way ahead clearly on the unlit country roads. on lit roads i can set it to flashing or dim mode to prelong the battery life, I charge the battery after about 2 hours of on time and keep a spare with me, but never had it run out of power on a ride yet. (Tip dont buy cheap 18650s or chargers on ebay get a genuine branded one with a protection circuit)

10% off for British Cycling too.
Personally in the winter I use a cheap CREE XML light (£20, on its 3rd year) alongside my Exposure TracR lights.

I've been shopping for bike lights tonight and was thinking about this but I decided to for the Lezyne Macro Drive 600XL front and rear light set from Tredz.co.uk for £58.65 using code ECWJ2R (£5 off £50)

Heat for this deal though. This is a much better light for off road riding
