One of my MJ872s is now 3 years old I think, the other a year, both been used more than most. If I’d bought a Hope (one Hope, because that’d still cost more than both of my equivalent/slightly superior lights), it’d probably have broken its cable by now.
People buy the cheapest of tat and are surprised when it’s cheap tat but the chinese lights cover almost all the bases that expensive lights do, and more. If you wrote Lupine on the side of a Fluxient or similiar people’d happily several times more (and weirdly they’d also stop complaining about the absolutely identical mounts- it seems to be OK to use that sustem on a £300 light but not a £20 light)
I wonder why Bikeind would want people to buy expensive lights? It is a mystery.
