From what?

From the subject of the discussion thread?

Yes I must admit, I was wondering about that, it's getting to another thread point.

(Except that hi vis is unproven for road cycling in the real world)

Things that are common sense don't need to be proved to the majority.

You need some headlights you can see with. I suspect Lidl will have some on sale soon

And when I begin cycling at night, I'll get some. The lights I have get me through the tunnels, but that's it. Crivits, here I come!

Ah, common sense, like bicycles needing positive trail to be self-stable.

Are Aldi selling these?

Cheap for a reason. Went to have a look and from what I saw it's tat. Cheap for cycling kit so if you need the stuff, get it but I'd rather spend a bit more. The last Aldi lights I had, I bought at the same time as a Moon Nebula (three times as much) which is still going after being used on each and every ride since. The Aldi one isn't.

The merino arm warmers are good value.

Would that be this light?

Some concerning reviews there.

Possible you got a dud Aldi like they got a dud nebula?

Was in Aldi yesterday and slightly surprised that the bike stuff is still at full price.
They seem to have a fair bit left, so I'll keep an eye out for some reductions.

yeah had a feeling they used to discount leftovers much earlier before

This last round (Downunder) have find some leftovers finally getting reduced. Think it's getting onto 2mths since those specials came out. (We get 60d to return so can't get refund anymore on Day 1 purchase of same item now discounted.) CBF'd checking my receipts for exact date, only $10 25% off anyway.

Picked up the Cree rechargeable bike light set today.

Quite impressed with the front light. It doesn't dazzle like the Moon Meteor does (even when aimed at the ground a few feet ahead of me). It doesn't need a USB lead as the whole light slots into the socket, and it starts on the lowest brightness setting rather than the highest. I intended to keep it in my saddle bag as a spare, but I think the Meteor is going in the saddle bag and this is going to be my main light.

I'll probably give the rear light away since I already have two on the bike and it's no better than either of them.

I've been using this light pretty much daily... only for ten minutes whilst riding to work, and two and half months later it's still on its first (factory) charge!
