I'm seaching for some budget bike light less than 20 USD) for a few days and I'm already little crazy because I spent so much time on it, so pls help.
I need a light to light my path when I occasionally ride in night on the 2-way road (lets say 25 km/h average speed) , so I can spot any holes in front of me, in the dark, or something else, maybe, onthe road, and so I that I can see the road.
What lamp has the best quality-brightness/price ratio??
First I was thinking about p-4, than some q5 zoomie (I have seen recomendations for q5 zoomies here), than about R5 (in particular this one, very good reviews http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafire-p10-r5-cree-xr-g-r5-5-mode-350-lumen-memory-led-flashlight-1-18650-42972 ) , and lastly I've found also sam cheap and turbo bright XML lights, but I dont know how reliable they are and do I really need XML and I have doubts about constantly charging the batteries and also about danger of blinding oncoming trafic... (and also there is a question of reliability of these cheap XML lamps, as I have read, I dont have any knowledge for mdding, but maybe I could put some alu-foil around dropin).
So, I want brighterst and most reliable lamp for the money, and suitable for bike ride (I dnt need it for woods or something like that)
I probably do not need nig throw, but I dont know do I need to search specifically for lamps with more spill, or each of these lamps will suite my needs.
So can you pls help me solve my dilemas?I think I've found right forum for right answer.
Adittional requests from the torch, but not a must:
It would be nice if lamp can receive 18650 AND 3*AAA
