Ok so mini review of the Smart Lunar 35
It seems to be a reasonable well put together light, with side windows for side visibility (something a lot of brighter lights lack), very easy to mount although the mount is a little tricky to get tight enough to stop it slipping around on my bars. It starts to droop downwards after riding on cobbles for a bit...
As for the light itself, the low seems pretty good for streetlit visibility, high is brighter - but not massively so - I would say you would just about get away with it on unlit roads, but ideally you would want to back it up with something like a helmet light.
Still as you can pick one up for £25, it only needs 2AA batteries, is pretty compact (no battery pack) and is easy to mount onto the bike and unmount I would probably recommend it - although you may want to put some tape or something under the mount to stop it slipping.
