Consider yourself lightly; consider the world deeply.
Hiya Alphin,
Nope - but I have recently bought a Petzl Myo XP 2008 version and it's worth the cash, a good 20% brighter than my previous Petzl.
Bit pricy mind you as it was (I think) about £50. What price preventing a sprained ankle though, eh?
Just in case - a risk using Myo XP with rechargeable batteries!

The Myo XP 08 is an adequate lamp but don't expect anything spectacular. The Ultra is supposed to be in a different league altogether.
Me? I'm back to using my 14LED Duo - still a better running lamp than the Myo XP if a little heavy.
The Myo XP and 14LED Duo are all well and good,but you cant beat a rag soaked in a mix of unleaded and diesel on the end of a stick-really bright.Going to add some chip fat this winter to reduce the cost and carbon foot/stud print.
I still like my Myo XP but I did notice this weekend mine seemed to be the weakest light, this doesn't bother me normally as I do most of my night runs solo, in a group with brighter lights it can cause shadows around your light.
I may have to start mountain biking again to make excuses for a dual purpose light, but it wouldn't be an ultra

Certainly Trundler.Ive still got a few smouldering in the shed from last year.
Give me a shout when you're ready to head up the fells again - i may have something of interestbut it wouldn't be an ultra
