Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

[Allan47.7339]

The support site has a list of rated approved lights. Note: the Lezyne Power StVZO Pro E115 used on the Vado SL 5.0 is an OEM version with the mounting reversed so you can mount it under the bars and have the light pattern correct. If you want a brighter light use the Lezyne 550, Lupine SL Nano or the Supernova's on the list. The E115 is good light for ocassional night riding.

I checked this today on my bike, and it doesn't look like it is possible to turn the lights off. They're permanently on.

I'll probably opt for the Lenzye Power StVZO Pro E115 Switch headlight @Stefan Mikes suggested above. Reading the manual it appears to have the ability to turn it off. I'll have to double-check that by reading a few reviews. Mind you the "daytime" mode will still be helpful. The only issue is stock in the UK is difficult to find. I found a German bike store with stock but annoyingly they have minimal spend for delivery to the UK - and it means spending twice as much.

You could use a microswitch but a proper IP-rated switch on the handlebars would be the preferred option.
