The cree u2 light that I ordered for £15.50 arrived a couple of days ago. I charged the battery pack, it didn't explode. Good start.
Thought I'd see how it would fare. Sparked the light up on the lowest setting (which could still be described a Pretty Fucking Bright), expecting it to be dead within 4 hours. 4 hours went by, and the three lights on the back we're still on. Went to bed. Next morning: still going. A little dimmer by this point, and on one light, but still, amazing.
I lucked out with a 6 cell pack, so it must/is probably a 8600mAh one.
Runs quite warm, but this won't be a problem when I'm whipping along towards Dunwich.
Impressed. I'd still be impressed for £30, but given it was only 15....wow.
