Sorry to hear that Les. No, not laughing, however we really do need a few more of the gory details to smirk over
. Shame it wasn't on or you could probably have spotted it and hoiked it out.

I have a MTB Batteries Lumen 800 that's surplus to requirements. The battery was new a couple of winters ago, as the one that came with it was knackered. It hasn't been used in a while though, so may not hold the full charge any more. They're only £55 inc P&P, so you could just buy a new one and know that everything is there and working properly... 
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

Exposure lights have a lot of love on here but are quite pricey
Better if you say how much power you want, run times and what price

I've tested the Cateye version of a 'To See' light on the BB200 last year. In comparison with an Exposure Strada or bigger). The Cateye performed amazingly.
If I were you (and I might do the same). Idgo with two of the £40 Cateye lights as they last well over 3 hours on full blast. Theres also the MOON that was recently spoken about at about £50... Very powerful light with the ability to run on low power for extended usage.
Both have usb/usb- c (respectively) charging...

Moon... the brighter version of this which can be found and not much more cost.
Cateye the cheaper version of this (AMMP 400) https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-a ... 08190.html

Try one of these great light. They also do a 1200 that you can plug a usb lead into and charge phone GPS. I have used one for two years they are great.
And they are waterproof....
