Attaching things to your handlebars can be a risky business, especially when heading out onto dark lane littered with potholes. Thankfully you should be able to relax when strapping on an Am-Tech Cree LED front light, which is pretty much indestructible.

This hardiness shouldn't be too much of a surprise considering that Am-Tech really specialises in DIY tools, and the light comes with an anodised aluminium body that was more than up to the job when dropped onto tarmac from handlebar height as part of our rigorous testing process. Am-Tech is obviously confident about the longevity of its light, giving it a 10 year guarantee.
