Oh my, 2x MTE SSC P7 900-Lumen 2-Mode Super LED Flashlights came through my letter box today with 4 batterys & charger.

All I can say is I will only need one tourch for my single track expeditions. They are SO bright!!! its unbelievable! When i have mounted to bike i will post pics. This thread is in need of some more pictures.

They are teh awesome... Now you too get to gently make fun of people with expensive bike lights

2 x Tesco Cree 2AA LED torch + BLT SpaceShuttle mount =thread winnar.

Noooooo... I used to run 3 of the Tescos, they were adequate I suppose but not close to as effective as even one P7. The difference the wide beam makes is immense. Don't miss them at all, good value as they were.

Hmmmm.

As posted previously, I'm running two Tesco Cree AA's in conjunction with two Edin bike Co-op Revolution LED High Powers.

But link me up with these P7 thingies, might take a look at 'em.

DX is the place for P7 and MC-E torches:

Everything comes from Hong Kong but I got delivery in 7 days.

I've got a UltraFire MC-E torch - one of these. Makes a great helmet torch. I got the torch, 2 x 18650 cells and a charger for £42 delivered in December.

Didn't we just have this conversation about P7s last month?!

 

[schnipps]

Anyone here use a Shockpost on their hardtail? they seem to vary in price from 30 - 200, are they utter crap? Any recommendations?

Dunno, but the Tesco Cree's crop up every few weeks!!!

Anyhow, I'm ordering one P7 as I'm curious to see how they perform compared to the el-cheapo but oh-so-good Tesco AA's.

 

[Bennah]

How can the P7's be attached?

A Twofish Lockblock i assume!

 

[Draeger]

Yep, thats what I use on my Tesco Cree's. I would assume the P7 will fit just fine in one too.

My Ultrafire MCE blows my Tesco AA Cree out the water.

My Ultrafire MCE blows my Tesco AA Cree out the water.

In what way?. Is the beam pattern wider?. Is it brighter all round?.

How does the Ultrafire compare to a P7?.

You know, I'm a sucker for gadgets so I might well have to order an Ultrafire as well now.

Order them from the Twofish website and you will pay over the odds for 'em m8.

There's an eBay seller that I get mine from here :-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PAIR-Twofish-...14&_trkparms=72:1229|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

He's doing a pair of lockblocks for £11.95 which is a veritable bargain as it includes delivery.

For info, here's a Twofish Lockblock on my bars holding a Tesco AA Cree :-
