I haven't bought lights from Hong Kong but I have bought a few Lithium -
Ion batterys. They use them for model electric aircraft and electric
helicopters, also got a charger as well. I had to "twist" the pins on
the plugpack to get them to fit an aussie outlet but it works ok. Even
more exciting, tried out my HID light tonight

A bit on the heavy side but robustly constructed and much brighter than
my twin 5 watt luxeons. (About three times brighter.) US$115 plus
expensive postage.
A fun ride tonight, Banjo demolished his top of the line SRAM
derailluer, (second one this week), I did a perfect swan dive over the
handlebars into soft gravel, Neil had a cluster fall apart and there
were a few wet feet from deep creek crossings.
