Ultrafire torches

I noticed people are using these for bike lights... Anyone got one???

I'm thinking about getting one for the front but I'm a little unsure. I have some pathetic bike lights at the moment but I work nights and every night I somehow cycle into the same huge pot hot in the car park... So annoying.

I'm interested to hear how good they are, I understand they are bright but I don’t want them so bright that while I've got my lights on trying to stop myself getting ran over, I end up getting ran over because I blinded someone in a car lol.

Interested to know which models are more suited for cycling on the roads and what kind of beam they have.

People may suggest different lights to me then I don’t want to spend more than £20* on a light and I absolutely most definitely don’t want to have one with a battery pack.

*if its a pair of lights I'll spend more
 
I got a Cree torch style light off eBay for just under £20 delivered. 1300 Lumens, complete with two batteries (one spare), charger and mount. Absolutely brilliant, on and off road, can't recommend it enough :)

Think this is the one I got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltraFire-130 ... 336c61eb33

Funnily enough I have one of those too. 270lm was ok for cycle paths bui wanted something a bit brighter off road. I found the beam circle quite narrow on that light too.

I'd see a few people saying with that, that your basically not seen at all from the side with those... I was going to get a set but that put me off.

Does 1300 lumens not burn peoples eyes out though?? lol.
