My lights have died a death and I have now got to replace them.

I'm preferably looking for a non-separate battery pack but bright enough for unlit roads....

As cheap as possible, under £80....

Any suggestions?

I'd go for two cheaper rears after one of mine fell off!

I got a couple of 900 Lumen front lights for my sons to use on night MTB rides. They are a few Pounds over your budget, but apparently they are very good. I got them from a company called Magic Shine and the service was excellent.

If they are for road use, the B&M IQ Ixon is great, as the reflector puts all the light on the road (as opposed to the trees). Bike24 have them for 60 Euro.

Sorry meant to mention its the front light only and needs to be pretty bright.

Its for road use only, the B&M light Mekon suggested looks pretty good....

I bought the Electron Terra 2; bright enough to see potholes and the battery lasts ages : http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/wl.aspx?3&req=0-E...

Been thoroughly happy with them over winter.

I hear good things about the deal extreme website. Never used them myself but I'm sure some on here will have.

Great lights, the downside is 3-4 weeks delivery, plus keep the order as simple as possible. A friend ordered 2 torches (with the batteries, charger, etc), only 1 arrived and he is still going through the rigmarole of either getting the other light sent, or a refund.
