    A further review of the Spokenshirts onethelite Bike light I bought at the bike sow a couple of weeks ago.
    Clicky

    The mount is a bit big but works better than expected, certainly for road rideing but feel it may induce a bit too much vibration for serious off road use. I have use the light for a number of high speed long night rides and it is superb. The view ahead is much brighter than my old ayups and I also prefer the beam pattern.

    The light has a high and low setting. I have only used the high setting and it has lasted well over the 3hr run time with. The 3-4hr recharge time is great as I just plug it in every night afetr a ride, the charger is the inteligent variety too.

    The low setting is very good BUT it interferes with my Polar S series Heart rate monitor speed and cadence sensors which loose connection whilst the low setting is active. However as the run time on full beam is ample this has not caused a problem yet.

    One final critisism if the velcro strap for the battery pack is a bit weak, It has not fallen off yet but it feels as if I have to keep an eye on it. I will add a second velco strap to ease my fears.

    Overall £90 for 900lumens is great value and means my Ay Ups will soon be on ebay.

    Saw these shirts too at the show today. The bloke on the stand was saying the fabric was a lighter weave than the rapha fabric. Still very impressive, but they don't do an xxl yet so i will have to wait or loose more weight.

    I just bought one of these at the bike show today.
    Woderlight is the brand from Korea brand. I have yet to use it in anger but so far it looks good and ios far brighter than my soon to be ebayed, but still very good, Ay ups. For £90 all in and 900 lumens I could not resist. Was tempted at the Use stand with some of their exposur lights and had even considered a Lumicyle light but this puppy looks promising so far. The only concern is teh resilience of the mounting arm. the handlebar clamp is fine but the arm is quite long and I suspect may be prone to vibration.
