Cheap bike light material !Bright!!!

[XC204]

Found these lights last nite at Menards $13.99 for two. These are about 10 times the lumens of the multi led flashlights that most of you use. These are 180 lumens which if I remember right is about 20 watt halogen equivalent. These have a single Cree LED that I use on my lights that I modify but they cost more than the price of just one of these lights. And you need regulator and optic lens and a switch..The bike mount was not included.Oh and the battery holder is not a junk one.

I have one similar to that, I just use two reflector mounts to mount mine, one around the handle bar and the other around the flashlight. Then the reflector parts bolted together. I'll try to get a pic someday when it's not so cold.

These will be great for converting old bike lights into real lights. Take apart and use the parts.

Where did you get that mount? Something like that would work perfect on my commuter. Is it sturdy enough to hold the light w/o too much vibration or slipping?

Deal Extreme sells drop-in flashlight upgrades (up to a claimed output of 900 lumens). I've built a couple from $11 250 lumen 5-mode units. Fun to work with and low cost. the one picturied here was made from a broken stainless pepper mill. I've since upgraded the copper bezel. Will post a pic or two soon.

Looks like almost the same flashlight as the "Techlite Lumen Master" from Costco.

I used one inside a chrome torpedo light... it is very bright!

Outback I think it is a buddy at work said it looked just like his. It just cost more.
