    1set new 1800Lm CREE XM L XML U2 12W LED Headlamp Rechargeable Headlight Head Light Lamp +2x18650 4000MAH Battery + Charger-in Headlamps from Lights & Lighting on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    or these

    RA 608 Ergonomic Design head Light XM L2 U2 LED 1200LM Waterproof Bicycle Light LED HeadLamp flashlight with charger Retail box-in Headlamps from Lights & Lighting on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    Plenty of kits around with mains/vehicle chargers and a pair of batteries. Main thing is to get one win an XM-L2 U2. Look closely at the LED and make sure the base is silver and not green.

    Got mine no problem a few weeks back. Works really really well compared to the halogen spottie, leaves the trees a sort of monochrome, while the possum/rabbits eyes stand out same as the halogen. Was spotting heaps more than the other two guys last night, especially further away. Still don't know how long the battery lasts as it's still going.

    They seem to have resolved the freighting issues. Just as well or all cell phones, laptops, cordless power tools, etc and their batteries would have to travel surface freight. I have no trouble getting them in.
