    You have to waddle the lead to get it to come back on.
    Does your dog mind you waggling its lead?

    Have you tried http://www.alpkit.com/gamma/ It's not the smallest in the world but the single LED is bright and the rear has a red light which also flashes so the cars have something to aim at.

    Funnily enough I was wondering if they were any good. Presume you've tried one sf? Any good for running?

    It will be the best £12.50 you've spent this year!
    Top piece of kit for the money.

    Blimey - £12.50. I've read a few reviews and there's some reference to "ok for running over easy terrain".

    Is it suitable for light fell running does anyone know?

    Yeah had mine for about a year now and a couple of lads at the club have them. Fantastically bright for the money. Use it every time we go out as a few of the lads like to off road it on Thursday nights Would recommend them to anybody, the service is also first class from Alpkit.

    Right where's the commission

    You need a head torch for dark fell running

    Cheers Stephen - only ever heard good reviews of their kit and service so I might try one

    Anyone else had this problem
    Can they be repaired.
    Should be easy enough to fix. Wires/contacts sometimes crack due to movement (basically - metal fatigue!) and it's simple enough to repair with a soldering iron.

    The £12.50 is including P+P as well. Mine should have arrived by tomorrow, I'll report back.
