Nice - awesome site - how do you match a battery pack to those lights as they look like they sell the head only? |

I've gone for the biggest battery they do (8* 16250) and crossing my fingers. I'm sure if it doesn't fit, one of the other batteries I have will!........ Will let you know if it fits.... They do sell the light with a battery pack for £25, but that is a 4 cell, so decided to go for the bigger one at a combined £32. Roll on 5-15 days.... |

No, label said 'spare parts' and went through without any charge. |

Mine is still yet to arrive...... seems to be either "delivered overseas" or in the heathrow distribution centre...... Hopefully will arrive before too long... although at least my laziness means I haven't even considered going on a night ride yet.... every cloud.... I think... |

Arrived yesterday. Battery worked absolutely fine :) And the light looks ridiculously bright! it also weighs a lot less than I thought it would, so will try mounting it on the helmet. Looking forward to trying it out! G (didn't get stung for import tax either!) |

OK, I've run mine a few times now, I'm using it as a helmet mount because it's half the weight of any other light I have, it's been running really well and I've managed to get about 2h 45m out of it before it starts noticeably dimming. |

Graham, I'm gonna order the light and larger battery pack (just added to basket on site).... What did you do about a charger? Cheers, Ev |

I've already got 2 chargers from my DX supplied Magicshine jobbies but I'd be concerned with plug compatability and how it would charge the larger cell-pack, etc? |

Graham? You there?  Want to make sure I'm not left with a light and battery pack but no way of charging properly... PS. Was this the battery pack you ordered? http://www.lightmalls.com/waterproof-8-18650-battery-set-for-led-bicycle-lights-with-magic-bag |
