UK plug version of the Magicshine

That's correct although it's a 5 mode light so you have to cycle through 5 modes when switching it – the others are 3, I think.
It's hardly difficult to cycle through the modes, can you not press a button and count at the same time? 😉
On the hand held torchs, the 5 modes are better, as they have a decent high/low beam, the 3 modes have a rubbish 'low' mode IME.
Though I would mention that though the link might have a UK plug, it doesn't seem to have a helmet mount?
xcgb – I bought a UK adapter for a quid or so from the DX site and these batteries (a while back, so there maybe better ones out there)

choices choices…
Do folk generally prefer to have a light on the bars and one on the helmets as well
I use both, one on my helmet and one on the bars, using one or the other can cause small issues… If you have a bar mounted light, you can't see round corners or through dense vegetation (think late summer/autumn) but does give you depth perception. On you helmet you can see round corners & over the vegetation but the light will flatten any shadows and you loose 'some' perception of the terrain. It's not impossible to ride with only one, just a 'little' harder, but then the rigid single speeder police would have us using the light of the moon to navigate at night, if they had there way.
How does it work with import duty / customs buying from HK?
There is none, or at least out of the 10 odd orders I'm personnally aware of and thousands off here, I've never heard of anyone being charged impost duty/VAT on a Dealextremem shipment.
