Decent LED flashlight to mount on bicycle handlebars...

Title says it all.

I'm a fan of Coast LED flashlights, so I'm thinking of getting their new P7 (8407) flashlight and mounting it to my handlebars with 2 ring clamps.

If you haven't seen the P7's specs, I've copied them from a seller...

Includes: Sheath, Nylon Lanyard, Lightweight Carbineer, (4) fresh Coast AAA batteries, paperwork, and a Coast Lifetime Guarantee.

167 Lumens at 4.5 watts. 130 hour burntime. 5.25"-5.5" long x 1.170" (30mm) diameter body x 1.48" (37mm) diameter bezel. Standard tactical permenent-momentary push button.
3-step Quick-Cycle function - max - low - max at the tailcap button.
Forget twisting, has one-handed Speed-Focus achived by pushing on the bezel.
Same "specs" as T7 (HP8420), but this P7 (HP8407) has square knurling on the body.

Soo... is there anything better than that for $100? I'm not counting on it, but I *am* trying to find something with a wider beam. These Coast lights have the bare minimum beam width I need for riding a bicycle.... but if you guys know of something with a wider beam that is comparable to this light, please lemme know!!

Thanks!

The "P7" in the name is a bit confusing considering it uses a Cree!

I use a DX/MTE P7 light mounted with a TwoFish Lockblock. Works really well, huge spread of light and not very heavy. Only lasts for an hour or so, but I can always carry a spare battery or two.

How long do you give this thread then? We've mentioned bicycles AND suggested some useful products. I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to tidy it away into some disused area of the forums.

You have posted the same thread in the Bicycle section, so I'm closing this copy. Cross-posting like this is not allowed.
