Just wanted to give you all a review on the XTAR BK10s. These torches are just simply superb for the money. From the moment I received them (I got 2) you could tell they were a nice product, well packaged with spare lanyard, O ring and the bike handlebar mount.
For biking two of these beasts flood the way. I've been out with them on trails and in the snow now and they are superb. Very bright and a lot of peripheral lighting too which surprised me given they are pretty small. I had my old LED helmet lights on my head which used to think were pretty bright. They are simply redundant against two BK10s! They just seem to fade into the barrage of light the XTARs are putting out.
The only slight issue is the mounts, my hard-tail has handlebars with varying diameter between the grips and the stem, and the mounts didn't stay on well as it's an uneven grip. Need to research an alternative. My full suspension however has a single diameter tube for the handlebars and they were perfect. Didn't budge. Even on a pretty bumpy downhill there was no bobbing.
I've been walking with these a few times at night and as a standalone torch these are also excellent, don't let the bike light format put you off, these are very good standalone torches. They come with a lanyard and are small and comfortable to handle. Don't get hot and throw a LOT of light. For walking, 2 of them are slightly overkill in the whiteness of the snow here
Very pleased with them, well machined and I got 2.30 hrs on high beam with a single 18650 3100mah. There was juice for another hour to keep going too. Thumbs up!
