    will they be as cheap when the new stock arrives?

    A big NO. Had an email notification of new stock today and looked at the price when I got home and the price? A mere £12.95 :x

    The cheapest place is now wiggle at £10.99 I think - still the best light around at the price.

    for who....do you mean the half asleep motorist, in pissing down rain with poor wipers at 6.30am on a feb morning

    heaven help the poor buggers :?

    Normal lights that don't dazzle are good enough IMO, and don't actually hurt to look at like these do.

    It's illegal to dazzle, I think these lights border on that.

    I have cycled behind people with these lights and I don't think they are too bright, from a further distance, from a fast approaching car, I think the brightness is excellent, but not dazzling. The brightness also makes them effective in dull conditions and approaching lighting up time, which I think can be the most dangerous for not being seen. I think they are spot on!

    how do you know that...have you tested them ? ie sat in a car at night behind a bike?...i doubt it

    Likewise I have never heard of a case going to court where a motorist was dazzled by the rear light of a cyclist :shock:


    Ive now got two.......the mayhem behind me is bound to be monumental :?

    Too bright.......you should try the Blackburn Mars 4.0, and don't mention the Dinnotte rear....

    They don't dazzle, certainly not above car headlamps and tail lamps - you need to stand out....

    2 Smarts, and a Mars 4 for commuting on the rear, plus two Hope Vision 1's on the front and two fibre lights on my rucksack.

    They are bright but not as bright as the !/2 watt as I have both on my bike.

    Still good for he money and might get on for my sons bike as he is with me anyway when out on the bike.
