Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Very busy there. Selling a lot of CX bikes which seems odd at this time of year

Probably because the cross season has finished.

Or the weather is rank...or people are buying a new commuter for spring and summer which is what many CX bikes are bought for

£5.84 with PXLIQUID35 code valid for rest of today - free postage if you spend £50.

Great light for city use and maybe a bit beyond - all you need. Good mount. Also on sale its little brother if you find it drains batteries too quickly, or you can get two with mounts for two bikes and just pop the second light on if the first drains.

Who needs usb blinders?

Somewhat cheekily Plant X seem to have upped the normal discount price from 7.99 to 8.99 over the last few days, but you can hardly complain with the extra 35 per cent slashed off.

Thanks @Blue Hills - ordered 2.
1 for a friend who is getting her first bike ... and 1 for (allegedly) Mrs Scoosh ...

The PX website is very confusing, I went to the 'Liquidation Sale' section and didn't see this anywhere in there, but if you go to the 'Lighting' section this and many more items with the 35% discount show up! It's worth searching around the PX website to see what you can find!

Cheers Blue Hills , just ordered the Smart Lunar 60 Lux ! . Grabbed a few of the small Phaart lights at less than 70 pence each as well while I was at it.
Got a Smart 7 Lux front light at the moment , will the difference be very noticeable with the new one? What sort of battery life do you get with the 60 Lux, I presume it will be a lot less than the 7 Lux that I currently run on flashing mode?

 

[Truth]

Asked and then looked , usually better to do it the other way around !
Apparently only 20 hours running even in flashing mode , bit disappointed in that as I was expecting about 50 hours . I get 100 hours plus out of the current one . STILL a bargain though ......

They're decent lights; I did PBP last year with two on full each night and that was enough through rural France.

That's good to hear mate

Evans are doing a £10 off on orders over £75 on their 'new' website, drawback is you will need to reset your password - which is probably why they are offering the £10 off! LOL

One use code is "GOLIVE"

It was enough for me to bother as I needed to buy some stuff, though a bit annoying it was a £75 minimum spend, still its hard not to spend when you are given an excuse! LOL

yes,lots of it is confusing. I was also looking for their stuff sacks, they weren't under their heading but only in the liquidation bit. The site is also prone now and then to quoting some absolutely ludicrous original prices which would surely get them done for retail fraud if they didn't rather come across as inputted by a drugged up temp.

What sort of battery life do you get with the 60 Lux, I presume it will be a lot less than the 7 Lux that I currently run on flashing mode?

never really timed it to tell the truth. I use mine on the bars as a back-up light to a nice small cateye that would probably also be sneered at by the blinding brigade. I switch it on when the cateye runs down or where i need a burst of extra light. It does have 2 brightness settings in addition to flash mode so you don't have to use it on full power. I also have the two models below which use the same mount and can be carried as back up. So no need to really change batteries mid ride, though it is worth mentioning that the battery change in these lights is amongst the simplest i have come across. A great series of lights which in my old grumpy view knock into a hat (for city use) any of the nonsense from knog or the usb blinder set.oh, i have also forsaken those small get you home lights - why not use a proper smart light aa a get home? With proper batteries? so to tell the truth i would have saved your 70p s. All the best, thanks to all who have given me tips over the years on this thread.
