I got my first one from Deal extreme it was a magic shine and still works great although I broke the clip for the O ring so gotta fix that. Last night I used my other one I got off deal extreme and its not good thats this one

http://dx.com/p/p7-water-resistant-ssc-p7-3-mode-1200-lumen-white-led-bike-light-with-battery-pack-set-82734

I would not recommend it, the lights just not great off it and last night the battery didnt last although as said its the first use its got in a whole

I did however order this one earlier this year and its fecking savage so far, great light off it and no issues with battery only $43

Had the same one for the last year ( but stood on the connector and damaged it) and never had a problem with battery

Good price Ed

I was looking at them on Amazon or 7dayshop but they dont deliver to Ire

they are all pretty much copies of the Magic Shine....who would have thought, Chineese copied of an original Chineese copy  :)

Always best to have two....One on the lid and one on the bars, gives better light spread when turning the head/bars. And handy if one goes dead on the trails.
One of my magic shines has died after about 4 years. Not bad for €50 quid from China.. time for a new one.

One will be fine but it's always a good to have a 2nd set on the bars.

In the process of obtaining refund from Dx on lights as customs would not accept as package contained lithium. Anyone ordered lights recently? Please advise.

Unlucky to have got your delivery checked Dave

I ordered a set last winter from the UK. Cost about 25 quid, no issues
