Hey folks like most of us in this hobby i am intrigued by different lights and builds and i am always on the lookout for different lights and electronics some thing that stands out.
So today we have a find that is probably one of best scores to date.
Here in Australia we have a hardware chain called Bunnings its the biggest hardware chain in Australia so i usually pop in every few weeks to see if i can score some bargains on random parts that i can re-purpose. Yea my girlfriend doesn’t understand also lol i will pick up completely random items and dream lol If that part/parts are used is another story 
Meet the Eiger bike light i picked up for $4 AUD on clearance! When i seen that it had an inbuilt battery for 4 bucks i had to have it lol. Its turned out to be a fact finding mission 
What did 4 dollars get me?
Some specs here

The good the bad and the ugly
The good
- Cree XPG2
- 800mah Lipo
- 4 modes high/low/blinkies
- Aluminium body
- USB rechargeable (no cable needed)
- Unique beam pattern? ( Half reflector with LED mounted at the top for a hard cutoff so you dont blind people in cars?)
- Build quality is accepatble but i will add it to bad also because it needs some tweeks but the alloy body feels good
- Blue light around the switch
- Modest 220 lumens for $4
- No PWM on High mode
Awesome ideas makes life easier!

You can see the lipo under the screw hole!

The bad
- Lipo sits inside where the bike attachments screws in and the screw touches the lipo. Lucky it has no sharp surfaces
- Build quality could use some improvement like attaching the LED to the body some way. The reflector is pushing the LED board to body of the bike light no proper pressure
- Switch is just okay
- PWM on low mode

The Ugly
- Plastic lens
- Plastic reflector
- Plastic USB cap
Whats so unique and exciting about this bike light? It has half a reflector!
If you zoom in you can see the XPG2 up the top

I will redo beam shots when its dark
Beam pattern has a sharp cut off
!
!
The beam is wide
!
!
The beam doesn’t go very high but it does light up the road well
!
!
Basically the beam won’t go higher than the top of the bike light even at distance you can see on the back of the fence the light was pointed even height to the fence
