4WD lights for your bars?

I'm all set for lights, but...

Was looking for something completely different (OK - not completely - LED lights for a trailer board) and came across these:

Modular lights for the bars (not sure I'd put this on my helmet)? Claimed 800lm for $40AUD.

Worth a look if you want something on the cheap.

I'm looking seriously at lights, and my dream would be a set of K-Lites. http://www.klite.com.au/ But at $729 for a set, that won't happen too soon.

On the other end of the spectrum is the following (which includes free shipping). A work mate ordered some LED torches through this website & has been really happy with them.

What kind of experiences have you guys had with cheap/expensive lights? If a $39 light lasted through winter, then blew up, I'd still be happy!

Cheap Helmet Light

CREE Q5 LED 300 LM 7W Headlamp available on eBay for $16 delivered.

Was able to modify to fit on helmet by removing the strap and attaching with velcro. Makes a great zoom-able spot light. Uses 3 AAA batteries in a separate battery pack. Runs for more than 2 hours on high using rechargeable NiMH batteries.

People often ask about the best deal for lights and I've just noticed this on today's CBO mailing:

700lm for $299 (US) looks nice:

Nope, I have no affiliation or anything with this, just like their gear.

Carbon Helmet Light Mount

Prototype helmet mount for Squidled.

Carbon fibre lay-up and a three piece mold. This is the smallest thing I have ever molded in CF, and the mold was a nightmare to design, but the part popped out as easy as anything!
