guy in work bought one of these. He had it on his bike yesterday, it looks fine for £6 but to be honest that's about it. No seals on the torch, light output pretty dim, good bar mount though, rear light has loads of modes and no quick way of getting to 'off' - like 'press and hold'.
It's a £6 light set for just under £6 so not really an amazing bargain.
Hats this about smudge making up cell packs? Who is smudge and how much do his services cost?
@thisisnotaspoon - No, not as bright as a Q5. Was hoping to replace the fenix I've been using for the last couple of years as a helmet light but last nights test run proved the fenix is brighter and has a better beam pattern.
For £6 you can't complain 'tho and I needed a new rear light anyway. If I didn't already have my bastid/fenix combo I'd be happy to ride with a couple of these. I wouldn't exactly call it "dim" (as others have) but I guess we've all been spoiled by recent LED's (I rode for years with a 10w/5w halogen cateye set up with a battery that weighed more than my frame and about 20 mins run-time on full, so compared to that these lights are brilliant!)
As bb. Its not P7 bright but its loads brighter than my cateye commuter light. It's very lightweight too. The rear is a cheap rear, does the job, useful as a 2nd rear light. I've used the bracket for P7 torch, too.
my purple one arrived today, must have got a dodgy one compared to everyone elses report........mines bloody bright.......very impressed to the point of going to get another.
Mine arrived yesterday, still haven't tried it properly yet. The rear is PITA to turn off, but will be fine if I have a disco at home.
I bought one, was dissappointed with it when arrived but thought hey ho, for the price. Have since changed the batteries from rechargebles to duracells and is as bright as claimed, but suspect wont last long.
I bought one last week, and for 6 quid I was stunned at how good it was!
WTF do you guys expect for that money?!
Got mine, rear light failed to start but happy enough with the front for the cash, even managed to mount onto my helmet (Giro Hex) with the supplied bar mount, just took the rubber adaptors hold and it fitted right on no bodging required.
Actualy.............
After binning the crap supplied batteries, and sticking in some good rechargable ones, its brighter than my old Q5 torches, as others said though, beam pattern lends itself to head light use.
