Hi all,
I am new here but have been reading through a few threads. Just thought I would let people know that ATM 21 April 2013 Planet X have reduced their prices on their Phaart lights.
Apologies if already been posted. Anyway, I own a few of these lights and bought them when they were £2.50 and thought that was a bargain - now some of the rear ones - that IMO are excellent at £2.50 and just as bright as Smart / Cateye lights I own but maybe slightly lower finishing - have now been reduced to an unbelievable 99p!
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/LIPHBSTRL/phaart_booster_05_watt_led_rear_light - 99p
IMO this is as good as my Smart R2 for visibility anyway. Bracket is more or less the same too.
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/LIPHRMRL/phaart_red_mist_5_led_rear_light - 99p.
As far as I can tell this is a direct Cateye clone. Again very visible. I could only mount horizontal so don't use on bike but chuck it in the mesh pocket on my backpack & has a nice chasing pattern.
Also these at 59p http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/LIPHSOFL/phaart_strap_on_led_light
Have no experience of these but look like Knog copies. Bought a few just to give away as gifts.
Delivery is £2.50 or free on orders over £20. I needed a new chain and they were cheapest I could find for the SRAM 8 speed that I needed. Bought some Ulna gloves at a fiver & 11 bike lights for £22!
I am not affiliated with them in any way. Just want to share these bargain prices as the biggest pet hate I have about other cyclists bar none is people not using lights.
From the gist I get most people on this site seem quite sensible. Unfortunately I am always amazed at people who have £2k + bikes but even 1 light seems to be beneath them. Also people who have all the high viz gear but for some odd reason don't like running a light!
Anyway - hope this helps at least one person
Cheers

I got a couple of the half watt rear lights at £2.50 which although not quite as bright as my Smart half watt rears have been fine and at that price exceptional value.
I think I might buy two for the front of my helmet then, are they quite bright?
