If you look back at his feedback, there are 2 or 3 previously listed about 20 down the list (#140744146377, 11-Sep-12 16:49) at £29.99, re-listed at £229.99 :shock:

All the best,

Yeah, click on the 20 sold, £32.99

Sellers list at a stupidly higher price because they are out if stock
When stocks in, the price gets amended

Anyone tried these cheap-o, seemingly excellent lights?

yup - on my second - but been through 3 batteries - don't use them in heavy rain - they are good if you only use them in the dry. To be honest I have now spent almost as much as a half decent light set, they are bright but quality is not high.

donch hate it when peeps post sensible repolies .... i did spot the sold items and it appears there is the number 2 beofre the actual price.

anyways, that is neither here not there - mr Ken - which exact model of these lamps do you have?

i received a set couple of days ago - the 3.7 V version (ther are some running of a 8.4 V bsattery)

admitedly the handlebar clammps looks a bit flimsy and the bracket on the lamp itself is loose as it is held by one tiny screw - bit of epoxy glue should fix that.

have to say it is much brighter then my DIY lamps not surpirisngly really as the cree is a 4 die LED compared to a single die.

the lamp itself has o-rings so it ought to be sealed - roll on GMT when I will get round to testing it.

Before the other posts were made I was in 'rip-off Britain' mode

the first one I bought was form deal extreme and looked like this....

the newer one is this one.....

the second one is much lighter and the fins are no where near as deep so I think cooling might be an issue, inside was clean though and it does have a dimpled reflector.

On my original I also bought a spreader lens and it it brilliant - no hot spot and evenly lit trails, can't find the link though.

My first one is still going fine. Though not always in use, I supplemented it (for commutting) with two of the Cree bar mounted torches.
