Yep only a matter of time until these type of lanterns start coming with the T6 Cree LED's now they are a bright LED.

I bought one of the T6 Cree lamps for my bike, from China and at 900 Lumens (advertised as 1600 Lumens!) it is well bright, although run time is shocking maybe 3 hours at best.

Bought the bike light from the folk in the link, cost £25 last October, uber bargain compared to local bike shop price of over £100 for similiar product.

Hi Heatonparkmassive.
                     Due to the shocking run time which I new about before ordering, I also ordered a spare battery pack for it, again cheap at under £10.

Only downside was delivery time, at 3 weeks from China, but worth the wait for sure.

If going for a T6 Cree LED light, best go for the units that run on 8.4v some units run on lower Volt's.

Sorry OP for going slightly of topic.

Cheers Francais! That's a pretty interesting piece of kit you have there, I may well be investing in these T6 Cree LED lights. They look very good indeed.

As Francais has already said, apologies to the OP for going slightly off topic.
