and a helmet mount. Arrived yesterday, sparkly new Mk7 model.

Bargain!

Just ordered a joystick!! 1/2 price it's rude not too!!

Can't decide, the Hope has all the mounts but the exposure sounds like a better light. Any opinions/experience?

The Exposure is a bargain, but can't afford it this month.

Damn it, just bought one. lol

The joystick is brilliant. Use mine all the time. That is an absolute steal.

Ta, joystick ordered

I've been wanting to replace my ageing mk2 joystick for a while- at that price it was a no brainier! 400lmn to replace the mk2s 200- nice! Thanks for the inadvertent exposure psa!

Is the exposure enough for night rides on its own or is it a complementary light type deal?

will be fine by its own if your riding solo.

Joystick ordered, superb, cheers.

These PSAs are costing and saving me a fortune

Smicir, I would mate it with a smudge light for the bars, but will be fine on its own

Still wouldn't buy a Vision 1 for that price tbh. Good one for the Joystick though, tempted for commuting...

Cheers, went for the joystick, already have the vision 1, not so great as a helmet light.

Joystick ordered-thanks for the psa

Joystick ordered. Cheers. Even got a fiver off for subscribing to the newsletter..

D'oh

Dun gon orderd me wun o dem Joysticks!

Seemed way too good a price to refuse! Shame I can't really afford it and have just had to trawl round the shed to find a load of stuff to bung on the classifieds to pay for it... 😕

Joystick ordered! Vision ones are rubbish and heavy.

But with an extra £18 to get the bracket it's not really that much of a bargain is it?
A light that you can't attach to a helmet or handlebar is really just a £50 torch isn't it?

I have a couple of 2fish lockblocks in the garage ... I assume the Joystick will work fine with them.

eek - I may have ordered another joystick...

I've already got the mount gubbins, so it's okay...right... (Yes, the mount is from my OTHER joystick..)

Please can you explain what you did to get that. I tried registering and can't see any discount.

cheers

Joystick & helmet mount ordered, sweet

😀

Joystick ordered

Many thanks for the PSA on that ....

No more brackets required for me as I already have a couple of handlebar mounts makes it a real steal

Another Joystick here too. I already have one, which is a year old, but at that price I couldn't resist 🙂

Cheers for the heads up. I already have a Vision 1 and i've been very pleased with it so I went for a joystick to see how the extra lumens work for me.

Ordered. Vision 1 before scrolling further down to see Joysticks going cheap!

Must learn not to react too quickly next time.

All these PSA's are excellent but sure are costing me a packet too!

so I was checking my phone in bed, saw this, sneaked into the garage and confirmed I had a spare helmet and bar mount for exposure and ordered the joystick.

I have been drinking, this is a bad idea, I don't know weather to love you lot or hate you

Thanks for psa, joystick ordered. 😉

Another thanks, ordered the exposure and helmet mount.

+1 for the Joystick! At that price I can't afford not to!

Happy days...

Mine has just arrived, plenty of time to get prepared for a 8pm to 8am night ride on the longest day (june 21st), i just need to order some good weather and i'm all sorted 8)

Anywhere do cheap mounts for the joystick?

Me three! There's a zip-tie handlebar mount for £7.50 on [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Exposure-Lights-Zip-Tie-Handlebar-Bracket-for-Spark-Joystick-or-Diablo-Light-/130905328417?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item1e7a90cb21 ]ebay[/url] which could be bodged? £17.50 is a lot for the proper helmet mount!

Another one for the Joystick with a five quid newsletter voucher - fifty quid!!

and here already have one but this will go nicely alongside

Amazed how many joysticks wiggle have. At least 5 of my club mates have ordered one, plus you lot, I expected very limited stock

Some buyers heads gonna roll over that one O.o

So just a question, as a light to put on my commuter for when I extend the ride home in the evenings is the Hope Vision 1 at that price any good, my commute is mostly road with the odd bridle way thrown in so no major off road excursions and mostly tarmac with the odd spot of gravel

Joystick arrived today in nice case, just need a helmet mount and rechargeable batteries for the rear flare light now.

Only issue is the joystick takes a little while to respond to the button. Hold it down and nothing happens sometimes - is this normal?

£17.50 is a lot for the proper helmet mount!

rwc03 - double press to turn on, press & hold to turn off (that's how my Diablo works anyway)

Ron - I like my Vision 1 very much and use it much as you describe.

I'd buy it with batteries at that price for sure.

Woody- Always turns on but when I hold it down it sometimes doesn't respond not sure if that's normal or there's something wrong with the button or board - have emailed exposure.

Another Joystick ordered. Very pleased with my Strada, so this will serves as the helmet lamp and backup for son's off roading.

Amazing how many new joysticks there now are on eBay...

Mine received today, can't see how the torch fits the headband though, no loop on my headband. Am i missing something or being Dim.

Thanks OP, my Joystick arrived today. FWIW the official helmet mount is really good.

Hope down to £41, only 2 red & 37 blue left... Good Luck but be quick

Parcel arrived today which should have had 2 sets on, but only had one 🙁

Oh dear ordered a joystick on Friday, appear to have just ordered another one £46 using £5 voucher
One for helmet, one for bars
Now only 35 left in stock, be quick people!

my joystick just arrived, nice! USB and mains charger, lanyard, little red LED and a headband that according to my colleagues 'makes me look a right tool'

I also get the thing with sometimes no response to turning off. I think it is the red LED thing confusing it. pulling that out and putting it back in seems to fix it.

bloody hell, finally talked myself into needing one, and they've sold out

Snap,charging it up now 🙂

My colleagues are of the same opinion 😆

+1 on the headband having no loop for the light to go through.

(Not that I intend using the headband)

I also get the thing with sometimes no response to turning off. I think it is the red LED thing confusing it. pulling that out and putting it back in seems to fix it.

Emailed exposure (who responded quickly) and said it could be just a weak contact, I now press firmly and it responds every time, slightly annoying you can get an audible click and nothing happens but I can live with it.

My Hope vision arrived yesterday, charged it up, put the batteries in today, the battery holder melted!

Contacted Hope, new replacement battery holder is on its way, a few have done it apparently.

Excellent customer service as usual from Hope.

Edit, non left BtW

Another one here whose Joystick arrived this morning. Only complaint is that nobody told me about the £5 off for re-registering for wiggle's newsletter before I ordered it! Oh well... Used Quidco at least so get 3% back in a few weeks...

It's charging now, so will have a little play later. Then work out how I'm going to mount it, or if I just buy an official £20 Exposure Helmet mount in the end!

Got mine, the headband is a bit much and looks very 80s, but mine does have a loop for the torch.

Shame it won't quite fit in my old Niteze maglight headband 🙁

If anyone doesn't want their headband with loop and are willing to part with it let me know.

Cheers
