Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

I ordered this Lezyne light from on Sunday from below - it arrived today and for £55 with an external battery back included it is the dogs danglies, the light alone is usually that without additional power pack ,don't forget the 10% off code.:-

And they've sorted the rubbish charging port on the previous ones!
I do love Lezyne lights

My concern would be the, mounting strap, it's it fixed? Is it replaceable.
I have a couple of sets of macro /micro drive front /rear. They have seperate replaceable straps.

The mounting strap is a fairly substantial rubber/plastic job but I must admit fairly short I have it on the last notch- there is an additional bracket but I cant work out how it fits TBH.

Is the strap replaceable/removable then?
The other bracket might be for, helmet mounting.

It's even cheaper now - down to £48.14 with the extra 10% off

I ordered one last night at £55, after seeing this I contacted them and they will refund the difference to match £48.

Bargain.

I hate it when something is reduced after just being purchased! At least they were very good and refunded the difference.
Was tempted to get one, but some of the reviews put me off, saying the light was a bit yellow and not as bright as claimed.
I need something to see the potholes on my 6am commute. Been using my Solarstorm, but having to charge it everyday now.
I'd seen on another forum a couple of people saying how good the below was at £50. Might wait until they have a 10% offer and use my BC card to get another 10% off.

- so not much use then, as it seems it can only be used on full price items? Or am I misunderstanding this?

TBF it's always been the case that it didn't apply to other offers, 3 for 2 etc but they have always honoured it. If they stick to these terms then it's just not worth it as most stuff can be had cheaper. They do occasionally do a price match on certain items .

They’ll price match in store too. I’ve certainly got 10% off click and collect as the store staff don’t know what you’ve bought at what price vs rrp

 

[NorthernDave]

Always ask for price match at the till - even their own website is often cheaper than in store.

A recent example - Shimano SPD-SL cleats, £22 on the shelf, £12 on Halfords website. (And I got another 10% BC discount on those too!)

I always get them to price match themselves.

That's a bit galling particularily as I recommended it to everyone, but they've now stopped the 10% discount anyway, sometimes you do wonder about companies pricing policies. It is still a bargain light IMHO

Yes, that's what the terms and conditions say. From my experience, it all depends on the branch and staff on at that given time. Since the terms and conditions have been updated, I've yet to experience any difficulty in getting additional discount off already discounted items at my local branch. In fact, my experiences with Halfords in the last 6 months or so have all been really positive, and I've snared some real cracking bargains.
