Well the Cree light from Lumen Junkies is a bit of a curates egg.
The parts are all nicely made, but badly assembled- mine required taking apart and putting back together with a lot more attention paid to correct tightening- it then worked.
What is more annoying is that the light cycles between its modes (bright/dim/flash) whenever you go over a bump. This would not be that bad, but some sort of malignant gremlin insures that (for example) just when you turn into an overshadowed lampost less lane it turns to flash.
Reeeeen fixed this with, I believe, a length of alloy stock bar that effectively lengthens the battery/compresses the spring a lot more, thus making everything a bit tighter.
I will try this- but this light cannot be said to work out of the box.
It's cheap, however.
