As to the non warranty, well the switch on the tail is slightly erratic already, but for £10 it is hard to complain. They were sold as is.

The tail light switch on mine only seems have gone through the whole different range of settings once, now it seems to flip between both on and one on / one flashing

The 3 modes on mine are like this, 1st press, both on, 2nd press, one on one flash, 3rd press ( must hold for 4 secs ) alternate flash. The 3rd mode you can only get to after 2nd press, do it after the 1st one and it just turns off

...the front light is a larger diameter, brightness seems on a par with the old Magicshine MJ808, high, low, flash, and quite spotty
The rear light won't be the 500lumens advertised, that's impossible from current red LED's, but I would say its the brightest rear I have ever seen. It has 2 Leds and 2 modes, both lit, one lit and one flashing....

The front light looks just like this, so may well be the one given the Magicshine claims to be 1000 lumen. It certainly does not look like the Nitelights 450BL (as stated in the Ad). This also looks identical...

The rear light seems to be this ok.

Im temted to wireup my 6 cell USB 5V output pack for a slightly more sensible setup.

Does anybody know where can I get such a cable from my USB power pack to the light (hopefully at a price that is commensurate with the price of the set :whistle:)?

The Led in the front light I have identified as a Cree XP-G, so the 450lumens is about right

Think one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-USB-3...upler-Cable-/161185891654?hash=item25876d8546
and one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adafruit-...pter-ADA988-/161676085021?hash=item25a4a5471d
should do the trick.

I assume this does it though I might have the bits to make one.

That is for a single light, doubke obviously needing a female end.
