Great lights for the money....There is a slim chance you might get stung for customs tax
And paying the extra for the fast delivery didnt really knock much time off the shipping

They can also be found on ebay from various sellers.. If you search for "magicshine" you should find them.

cheers Paul,
I kept meaning to ask about those lights, no need now.

[Paul]

You should prob be thinking of ordering around now as they can take about 5/6 weeks to arrive on the slow boat from China....

Just got mine last week, took under 3 weeks.

Was wondering if there should be battery mount for bike in packaging.  Big customs sticker across packaging on arrival.  Probably ran stacked it looking for rhino horn and lost it  .

Looking forward to some nite spins once I get adaptor to charge it up.

There was no batt mount with mine Dave... i used to just cable tie it to the helmet.

If you get the extention lead you can put it in a backpack

I just got a set of lights..... delivery times seem to have improved alot

It took exactly 2 weeks to arrive and i didnt get stung for customs 

[DaveyD]

Good stuff
i ordered two sets the other day and they have been shipped yesterday, they reckon 7 to 10 days or 3 to 4 days for ems postage. We shall see.
Hope i get lucky with customs too.

I used EMS post last year....It knocked about 3 days off a 6 week delivery, so didnt bother this time..... i guess it was nov/dec and the xmas rush was on at the time..

Paul, could you post the exact link for the right lights?

Not many evenings of sunshine left.

[Paul]

You want the helmet mount version...lights are better off moving with your head.
You will prob get rid of the strap and cable tie the mount to your helmet...

And the extention lead is handy too, if you want to put the battery in your backpack.

Instead of bodging the helmet mount you can buy a proper one for a few dollars... http://www2.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32754
