New Rear Light 99 pence!

[migrantwing]

I recently bought yet another rear light from eBay for 99 pence. It arrived this morning and I'm amazed at the construction quality and the brightness. Needless to say, I'll be getting a few more of these.

Yeah but im not really into these lights that use button batteries.Good as backup I guess.What battery does it take?

No harm in getting a few I guess but for my commute I have hardcore lights wired in.

Button batteries

Button batteries

While we're on 99p, the 99p stores stock button batteries. There's at least 4 of at least 2 different sizes (not the size that went into my dad's hearing aid) and they probably won't last long but, hey, 99p!

That is very true.

You was robbed - 99p - try 75p - buy 3 get 1 free from - pick them up from Argos. I've never bought these lights.

That's only for 2 batteries, though. The lights are £2.99 or £3.99 each, depending on colour

I recently bought a very similar light, paid a little more as I only use UK sellers. It was the only rear light I could find in green I wouldn't rave about the quality too much, it's ok for the money, but noticeably cheaper in feel & quality than other similar lights from the likes of Lezyne & not sure it will last as long

For a quid, it's fine by me. It looks like they've merged two different Lezyne (Micro and Femto) looking lights into one with these. I can't see them lasting a long time either, but for the money, that's
OK.

I've also seen a Lezyne Zecto style light online, too.

I've got a magicshine rear cost £40 but been going for ages and I can go seven straight commutes on shifts (without charge) without the battery running out.It's my backup rear.

Good for keeping in your rucksack/pannier for emergency's.

Most definitely, and for that price, what's not to love?

Just ordered 3 Zecto rip offs this morning. I have an genuine Lezyne Zecto but these are 1/5 of the price.
