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...

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)

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....
