Default Marwi lights

Still considering lights for night riding. Does anyone use Marwi's? Which one, and what do you
like/dislike about them?

I had a set of those but they kept dimming, then they would go off and sometimes they divide in two.

I use them and they are great for the price, just one tip. Use some Velcro on both sides of the
connection, on tough single-track they can unplug and leave you in the dark. Since the Velcro I
haven't had any problems.

I assume you mean the electrical connection, not mechanical? Are you talking about the wire-lights
connection, or the wire-battery connection? Which model do you have? Thanks...

Yes the connection to the light from the battery. I have 2 sets of the "KAMIKAZE " 4 spare batteries
and 2 sets of helmet lights with 4 flat battery packs. I've used them in 4 - 24 hour races and 2 -12
hour races and one 8 hour. They haven't let me down so far. Now I will admit to drooling over the
top of the line sets that look like a BMW driving through the woods... But without busting the bank
I have all I need with the Marwi lights.
