Now, I know this topic has been done to death... But I thought there was some good info in this for people who are still in the market for lights..

I was looking at this earlier today as I was thinking about getting a second light. Is it just me or is the picture of the beam on terra 2 (which they gave 4.5-5 stars) really badly lit with no range or flood? Seems interesting that they'd give such high marks to a light which doesn't look all that great.

I'm assuming that they take the low price of the light (£100) into consideration when they are awarding the stars?
And please lets not start the Magcishine debate ....... again!!!
There's no way I'd base a decision on either those reviews or pictures. Talk to your fellow night riders who are not in the pocket of advertisers. Then do what most sensible people do a buy the Hope Vision 2's.
hold on..for value for money and performance..Hope Vision 2's are your only man..
if you want a second light get a Joystick for the bars.
the nukeproof works well when its working there a little tempremental but that said if you get one and have a problem return it to where u bought it and they will replace it no questions asked
does anyone know how much the hope vision 2's are selling for?im stuck between it and the nukeproof!!
James in OC is doing better than CRC on the Hopes. I've heard and seen bad things from the Nukeproof.
well i have a Nuke proof and it stopped working twice in a spin..i gave out a about it and Michael cowan asked the designer to sort me out..he said he would but it started working again then gave up the ghost again and I couldn;t be arsed sending it back or getting it fixed..why should I, the feckin thing wrecked my head..unless i'm hand delivered it by a dirty woman I wouldn't use one again !! Dons drove him mad and I'm sure Gazpws did as well !
I don't want a repaired one..I want a brand new one guarenteed not to stop working when I'm halfway down Camaderry in total darkness.
The Hopes have never once let me down.
they were €180 in Hollingsworth last year to EPIC members..loads of us have them..I've used more lights and done more night rides than anybody so i consider myself The Authority on them.
Buy the Hopes or if you have the money light and Motions ( Leds) between me and Alfie and Smithers we've logged a serious amount of night rides using them and they have more than paid for themselves.
Eh, just remembered I had to buy a new cable from battery to light, as it was flickering on/off. new cable sorted the prob. they (nuke proof) are a bit heavy on a helmet, recommend bringing you lid to the shop to see how it fits.
