JE James have the DX ‘1000 lm’ (yeah, ok) reboxed as a Hawking for £59.99 (reduced from £149.99)

Yeah, I know these are (allegedly) brought over, re-branded, then sold on at inflated prices. However, at £59.99, it’s around the same price as getting one from the Far East, but without the wait and the benefit of local customer service.

Maybe old news and maybe available elsewhere, but got on for myself (after inexplicably losing my Hope Vision 4!!!!), so thought I’d pass it on.

I would still go to DX and only pay £25. I’ve always had good service from them even if stuff has gone wrong.

Copied from the other thread I edited.

Didn’t realise they were that cheap at DX now…

My apologies if so – it’s a while since I looked to be honest, must have come down.

Not particularly bothered about price myself, as I needed one there and then – and nowt to do with biking, I hardly ride any more.

…but without the wait and the benefit of local customer service.

Sure about that? Ask them about the eight weeks wait and subsequent refusal to provide a warranty replacement top.

Just buy on eBay for £25 and get it within a few days

Just buy on eBay for £18 and get it within a few days

Does not post to Scottish highlands!

You can get the XML ‘bastid’ for £17 delivered now on ebay.

Edit: too slow – mine took a good few weeks though.

I got for £17 on Ebay its disposable at that price! cheaper than my flashing rear light!

My £17 light turned up Friday and its pretty good.

Looks like you need a converter for the charger too.

Adaptor, US to UK.

An adaptor comes with it.

Mine came with adaptor too.

I just recomended an ebay one to a work mate. He fetched it into work to show me, and I bought myself another as it was bang tidy for the money. Comes with a UK charger, Headstrap, and a waterproof rubber case for the battery that ive not seen before on the old bastid lights. All for £22.50 inc first class post. BARGIN!

It arrived two days later and is much brighter than my original dx bastid from two years ago. The rubber battery case isnt shown on the advert, but both came with one from the seller below. 😀
