Anyone used these lights??

[makster]

I'm looking to buy some decent lights to get out and do some night riding over the winter.
I haven't got a fortune to spend but do want something that will last and has a decent battery life.
Spotted these on offer for £89 in MBUK.... http://tumbleandfall.co.uk/collections/ ... ts/pro900l

Really tempted to go for them but just wanted to see if any of the good people on here had any experience with them first??

They're identical to the lights you can get off deal extreme for a lot less

 

[Andy B]

They;re the same lights as the Deal Extreme (from Hong Hong) P7 magicShine 900 lumen bike lights

Only they're a fair bit cheaper from DX, although you may have to wait a few weeks to get them

Great lights well worth the money for £60(ish) off DX they're untouchable value for money

off to hunt out the DX lights linky...

Anyone bought these and then bit hit with import tax?? If not, I'm in

 

[mowerman]

I bought one of the older models last year and it is still going strong, the only thing I did was fitted the battery into an old water bottle to keep it waterproof, as there were some issues with first ones, believe the newer ones come with a waterproof cover for the battery.

I didnt get hit with any import duty.

If you are not wanting to spend big money for a light you wont go wrong with one of these, I am going to order another one

Came accross this review a while back: http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/magicshine-mj-808/

Available on Ebay: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=MagicShine and at a UK dealer: http://www.magicshineuk.co.uk/front-bike-lights.php?category=1

DX will also do the old style lamp unit, with the new battery for $2.50 more than the "older model" per Andy B's list above.

Mine arrived in a couple of weeks, no import duty. You will need to pick-up a US to UK adaptor as it comes with a US charger (couple of quid from Maplins).

the original ones had a battery indicator of sorts - a green led on the back of the light unit that went red when there was about 30 mins letf. perfectly good.
