what do people think of this light? I assume it will be similar as one LED of those LED lights that they have had for a while. I'm wanting a brighter light for my commuting but not wanting cables and batteries etc to me this appears to be like the joystick but cheaper or should i look at one of those fenix lights and strap it to the bars or something like that (bearing in mind the fenix is only saving £17 after getting batteries and charger etc)  ?

Hope Vision Single LED light

as soon as its available ill be getting one as a"stashed in the back of my pack oh shit its nearly dark and we still have ten miles to go"light. ive already got an energizer 4 AA battery charger with nmh batterys that charge in 15 mins and can be used with a car fag lighter.

if i started proper night riding again id get the 4 led hope.

as a commuting light id have thought it would be ideal.

heres a link to the charger if its any use to you..

Errmm same output as the Joystick Maxx and same LED so likely very similar spot pattern,  too big for head mounting, 240lumen output,  you'll need 4xAA's + Charger or throw away £1 for a pack of 4 alkalines from Poundland to get you started.

Strap one of  http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1446  to your head,  150lumen, torch + batterys + charger all in for @£20,  it's what I'm using.

Nope, go for a cateye el-700 pro or at least the normal version. probably cheaper and thrice the led'age

Normal version is only 130lumens.

Big light shoot out HERE

Trex,  I fear to big and too heavy and to prone to tree strikes for head mounted,  so let us know how that goes for sure.

Similar size to my Smart 1 watt as it's got 4 batterys,  guess they could shrink it radius wise abit maybe.

If any good head mounted,  I shall have 1

Dyl, yes I am slightly concerned about having a helmet mounted periscope but if it's comedy sized I shall send it back (no fooker got the Exposure Joysticks in stock anyway).

 Only other option, price wise for me (not attempting build your own) would be the Superstar LED light but that isn't out yet either.

 It'll be summer by the time I get sorted at this rate...

The Superstar one,  will be same output and likely much cheaper,  but when is the issue

trex, speeds in Bromsgrove havethe joystick maxx's in stock.

 Dylan, that superstar one will be arriving thursday...spoke to the guys from Fonarick direct in december, they are currently getting me the first one in the country for the puffer this weekend, so superstar should have them shortly...

1000lumen version available soon.

Here

Interesting,  available lamp only to, 8+ AA's to drive it though.

It's the same as the hope 4 led model  from the pics I had emailed. ( which I deleted  about 15 mins ago too!) 3 settings, 1000, 500, 250 lumens iirc. On 1000lumens with a standard lumicycle battery = 4 hours burn.

 Trail tech HID  = 500 lumens...

As long as the price is reasonible,  I'll get me one of them,  £25 for a 8 Rechargeable 3000Mah AA's + charger,  2 x 4 battery holders from maplins, some wire some soldering and cheap as chips

( Don't like specific made batterys they've let me down to much )

Voltage was on the link,  9volts to 35volts or something.

SEOUL's draw 3.7Watts per LED ( I read ) Normally driven at 1000Mah's,  so all 4 on ='s  14.8 Watt Draw, 

My plan is 9.6V battery,  so  14.8/9.6= 1.5AH draw so 2hour run time on my above battery pack,  give or take.
