I got my 700 for £30, that is not a rip off.

So you're using a price that no one else can get it for aa your basis. Ok then.

Even at it's next lowest which was around £41 is still far better than other light on the market at that price.

Another vote for Moon Nebula... probably about as bright as car brake lights in the dark on full brightness. Though I tend to only use max brightness in the daytime.

I'd never really considered using lights during the daytime but the fact that I've bought this set and I'll do anything to make me more visible made me use them today. I had the rear on the next setting down from max and flashing and the front on the same setting but steady. It just seems sensible to switch them on because they're there!

Finally ordered the Nebula earlier from Merlin, with a few other bits, after having a week where I drove myself crazy looking at various bike bits in various sales! Way more than I've ever paid for a rear light, I hope the hype over this model is justified!!

I tell you what chaps,those "Specialized Stix Sport Combo" are fantastic..so bright.

Although i can already see the things have flaws,Where you switch them on/off because the whole thing basically sits on the USB on the moun,eventually i can see this snapping,have to be really careful when switching them on/off to hold them with both hands.

I think they really should improve the mounting system for them,But other than that..well worth the money.

70 Lumens

My Blackburn has motorists flashing at me because they think I've got full beam on.

You say that like its a good thing :confused:

It just means it has a rubbish lens and you are dazzling the drivers - not what you want on an unlit NSL back road IMO.

I've had countless lights, believe me, it's a really good thing and you do have the ability to face them down if you so wish or take it down to a much lower brightness.
I'll never go back to weak lights.

What would I need to search to find this please? I searched and it keeps bringing up lights that need a battery pack.

It arrived and OMG it is bright, even in daylight! :eek:

Yeah don't point it in your face and turn it on to the brightest setting, unless you want to have a ghosty rectangle in your eyes for the next 30 mins.

Thanks, I've just ordered one as a spare.
It's nowhere near as bright as my Blackburn but if it's a genuine 300 lumens it will brighten up the darkest paths.

Just noticed this: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lez...ight-69-99-delivered-using-code-chain-2510595

Seems more money than the kind of figures which are being discussed in this thread.

Worth it? Any good?

Personally I've had enough of paying for budget lights, if you pay peanuts you usually get a monkey.
You will be very impressed with the Lezyne you have linked to like you would be with my Blackburn Central 700.

Thanks, I went for it in the end.
