Got a couple of rear lights and a couple of base layers.
The USB rechargeable rear light is very nearly as bright as the sun and fits very nicely with the myriad of fixings supplied. The smaller battery operated one is also nice and bright.

Seems as though the cycling gear is still available online, free delivery if you spend over £20.

Picked up the Cree rechargeable bike light set today.
Quite impressed with the front light. It doesn't dazzle like the Moon Meteor does (even when aimed at the ground a few feet ahead of me). It doesn't need a USB lead as the whole light slots into the socket, and it starts on the lowest brightness setting rather than the highest. I intended to keep it in my saddle bag as a spare, but I think the Meteor is going in the saddle bag and this is going to be my main light.
I'll probably give the rear light away since I already have two on the bike and it's no better than either of them.

Treated myself to some new gloves for the colder weather and a non-merino base layer.

I'm glad you said that the whole light slots into the socket because I'd read the instructions - weird I know - and it didn't match what it says. I tried fitting an USB plug onto the end but no go, and it hadn't occurred to me that the whole unit goes into the USB socket. Or do I mean vice versa....? Having lost the receipt, I despaired and threw it into the bin. Since rescued. Illuminating....!
How strong is the USB tab on the front lamp? Behind the rubber end cap is a full sized male USB plug, fully exposed with no shroud. Looks like it may snap off after a few months of use. I will stick to using the cable with it if possible. They come charged so haven't attempted a recharge.
Apart from that, the unit seems pretty solid and well made with aluminium housing.

You have fallen into Aldi's trap... lure them in with cheap groceries that make virtually no profit, wave them off with lots of special buys that actually make them a profitCame away with leggings (can't call em "tights" for goodness sake

Has anyone tried the speed/cadence sensor with a Garmin of any type? They are bluetooth not ANT compatible, I wondered if this was to get round some trademark or something.
