Mountain Mayhem Returns 2019 let the planning and BS begin

Your right darkness doesn’t last long owing to it being soo close to the Salstice

However you will need lights up to an hour before propper darkness so that the slower riders coming home don’t do so in the dark

It Usually kicks in for riders after 9pm (dusk) however its not proper dark until 10pm I think there will be about six laps that will need lights - dawn is kinda my favourite and actually quite magical/spiritual in an atheist way

Looking for some bar mounted (and possibly a lid mounted) LED lights. E-bay is packed with hundreds, all at temptingly low prices... but are they all S**t?

Any recomendations?
a Chinese set will do you fine for the weekend and probably into the winter or beyond. I have some friends who've used the Chinese eBay types for years. They sure lie about their lumens output but one on bike and one on helmet will do you just fine at a decent budget. Check YouTube reviews/real world usage for an idea. My mates swear by them. Some have failed quickly but most go for yonks. Proper VFM!

But if British is your thing and you don't necessarily buy into the HOPE branding (or pricing) then I can recommend Four4ths which is what I use. Again, not exactly cheap but extremely well engineered and MIB.

So either £5 or £250? I was hoping for something in-between..... I guess for one night's arsing about I may as well just get a couple e-bay specials..
 
I use lezyne power drives. Good enough for us at our speed and last about an hour so take a spare.
