Lights

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.

that is true and seems to be down to a loose "bulb" assembly instalment. remedied by tightening. the 6mm of alloy rod cut off, that i inserted was supposed to ridden me of the slight noise the light made when used with the AAA battery cage. it is shorter than these 18650 type bats and the springs don't be too tight against it.

maybe not as perfect as a hope vision one.
