They've still got battery chargers in Lidl's for 20 quid, and aswell, I got a great head torch in Dunnes, half price for 8 quid, for anyone who ever has to do work on their bike in bad lighting conditions

great tips! (though I usually save this comment for ladies in pubs).
Are the lights on the head torch LEDs or normal lightbulbs? I find LEDs use very little energy, but make terrible task lights, it's as if the light they make is too white.

Good idea for a sticky thread:thumbsup2:

Also for anyone looking to start out with some on board footage...cheap and cheerful....quality aint bad, sound is a bit muffled but until you go into the €250-€300 yoyo bracket, you aint gunna get much better than this, which is great value at approx €50

Got one of those lights way back in the other German discounter and bought a second one "just in case" two weeks ago when they had them again. Great for any situation where you need a torch and two hands:thumbsup2:

Did you buy one? Having looked thru the video clips, that looks like a sweet deal. It seems to cope with changing light conditions pretty well and the quality seens good enough for an entry level cam. Anyone have one?? For $63usd (€42) delivered...... :thumbsup2:

Was looking at the same lamps in B&Q, 15yoyo, got the Dunnes one and already made use of it not like some gadgets
It can also be worn walking as there is a red led in it
