Working link for the battery case

 

[potsy]

Update light arrived today. Blindingly bright, new style waterproof battery pack and better connectors and cables than the X2. Can't wait to try it out. For £26 I really can't grumble.

Seeing as I'm falling behind in the Manc bike lights arms race (especially now my original T6 has just failed) I have just ordered one of the X3 Solarstorms to catch up
Will see how it compares to the X2 and maybe buy some more powerful batteries to put in my spare ©fossypack

I ordered 10 last time. Don't forget to add in about £18 for customs clearance. FedEx billed me a couple of weeks after delivery after I had sent them out. UK postage is about £2.40 each as well.

fossy,
PM me bank account details and the amount and I'll send some money over. I've always thought that someone who organises a group buy shouldn't be out of pocket.

FWIW, the battery pack is working brilliantly and I used it to light the night (hello trees, hello sky), on the FNRttC yesterday.
Wanda2010 was on the ride but she didn't fess up about further purchases ...............

Now, I must remember not to read this thread again in case I accidentally end up buying yet another light.

I didn't end up out of pocket, luckily just covered everything.

@Andrew Br

I've managed to resist so far, although I have pulled the trigger on a battery case. Fossy posted the 'working link' upthread so I'm blaming him for making me need it for the 4x 18650 batteries I already have.

I can feel myself being sucked into this by the recent excitement of @potsy by the arrival of his latest purchase. I will have to get him to show me his next time we meet in the bike shed
