Waaaah 🙁 I’ve posted loads of times on here when people slag chinese lights, that the good ones really are good,but this is the end of the road… I got my first MJ872 in the winter of 2012, I think, and then another one the year after, and they’ve both been awesome- bright, reliable, and a really fantastic beam. I’ve watched mates buy expensive and often less bright lights and watched a few of those die, and taken the piss. (especially my mate with the 2 Hope R4s, which are functionally identical except for the repeated cable failures…) And every so often I’ve bought this year’s cool light, and always gone back to these.
But tonight I was testing some battery packs and disaster! One of the XPE leds burned out, and shortly afterwards, the entire light went dead- I guess the board doesn’t like driving only 3 emitters.
So long sweet price! One of the best £70s I’ve spent on bike kit, I will miss you. Until I fit my BT40S (which is exactly the same deal but with updated LEDs).
