£1.29 + postage from Hong Kong – comes to about £6 all in.
Allegedly 270 lumens, but I doubt it!

Anyway, I ordered one on wednesday and it arrived today 😮 That's pretty quick.

Just charging the AAA batteries now, and will give a report back on how good/bad it is when they're ready.

Looks like it'll make a decent backup headtorch. The bar mount it came with seems pretty sturdy, and the rear light seems ok in a cheap and cheerful way.

Not oftenn reaching for my cards but WOW

I want a report as soon as its dark!

Yeah, got one, good for the money. I'll probably use it on flashing as a 2nd light on the commuter. Didn't need it, but seemed rude not to 😀

Bought two a few weeks ago… Shall be trying them in anger tonight.

ta for the heads up just ordered one cost £5.81 bargain

will be great as a spare/for road use

Just had a quick look with the batteries half charged.

Seems to be about the same brightness as my £15 DealExtreme torch which I use as a headtorch (difficult compare properly in daylight!)

The light is quite a tight focused beam – so not much use on its own, but will probably be good as a head spot.

It is quite a focussed beam, bright spot, brighter than my original hope 2led, but the hope has a much better, usuable spread. For the money though, you can't be robbed.

Ordered one myself as a spare for commuting, and at a price you can't refuse

Would it be good enough as a helmet light?

That's what I'm planning on using it as.

Not sure about weather proofing – it does have o-rings where the body unscrews.

Cheers for the heads up!

Just ordered one 😀

Just ordered +1

I cracked

Its nearly cheap just for the rear….

Cheers – ordered a couple as back up commuter lights.

Hmmm – just pressed the button here as well… 😕

How does the back light look? Decent enough?

Thanks for the heads up too.

I haven't even looked at the rear light. What ever the outcome, it's only £6!

I'm tempted, but I'll wait till you lot get them

Please post up reviews!

how longs the batterys last?

Need a new rear light and at 6,00€ can't be worse than the last one I bought from Decathlon.

Cheers.

Cheers, i'll have one of those 😀

Just bought two as back up lights, shame they don't discount the postage when buying multiples.

Excellent PSA, cheers dude – nice Saturday night, wine laden, buying spree 😉

Any pics of the beam?

Easily rig up a single 14650 battery to power this for extended run time

thats the idea, already got a couple of 7.2v lion battery packs here.

Looks tempting as a backup. Anyone tried the supposedly brighter purple one?

Purple one looks nice, no info on lumens though..

Q: What is Lumens output from this lamp?
A: tks for contacting! High intensity and High power 7W LED tks have a nice day!

……and just found this 7W one for £3.97 (with free postage)…..cheap as chips!

Just got the purple one, rude not to. 8)

Just ordered a purple and a red. For that price you can't go wrong even if I just end up using them as torches.

I've ordered a couple of the purples as they are so cheap. Can anyone shed any light on what re-chargeables need to be ordered if possible for these? A link would really help as the battery codes quoted really mean nothing to me.

Just use rechargeable AAA batteries – literally available anywhere. Maplins are quite cheap, but I saw a 1/2 price offer on rechargeable AAs and AAAs in my local Tesco the other day, so look around.

I can't imagine the run time will be anything to shout about from 3 AAAs! Still it's easy enough to carry spares, I suppose

how are you guys mounting these on a helmet? does it come with something suitable or is it merely a boj job 😆

cracking VFM i must say!

"I've just ordered 2 "

7w would equate to 40mins from 1Ah AAAs – so millage may vary – but cheap enough to hack a power connector to for externals.

looks light they are really 1 watt /30 lm -torches 🙄

That's annoying if true! Still cheap for a spare commuting light though, but not the bargain it seemed.

If they are pants, then I apologize 😳

don't fret still worth a punt for £6

remember that includes a rear one as well so what can we expect really ❓
