Its cheap there is no getting away suggesting its a quality product but for the money it seems pretty good. Personally I think the cables are too long, mind you I`ve not tried mounting the battery on the seatpost?? :unsure:. I`ve now silicon sealed it up, so wiring into battery now water tight. I can`t help comparing it too my Cateye triple shot which at the time it was first out was a £300 light ( I never paid anywhere near that ):tongue:.The cable between battery and light is quality, the connector is a twist and lock job. The only thing letting it down is the big battery pack :rolleyes:.
Anyway if your in the market for a cheap light, my advice is take a punt but order if you can from a UK seller, the one above I would of jumped at rather than the debacle with DX!

Well its here :wahhey: , first impressions are its neat, currently charging it up, its bright :eek: but that was in the house will try it outside later. The battery connections are a bit hmmm and I think I will also get the silicon sealant out as I can see potential issues with the the lens cap and also the battery wiring. One other note the flashing mode I reckon will seriously pee me off and other road users but I shall see :ph34r:.

*Miffed* No sign on mine yet. Being delivered to work so it'd better arrive this week as I'm off after Friday 'til 2012!!

ok found it do they work on these, hmm need to get my ruler oot :idea:
It might not fit the mickey mouse magicshine clone as they do not fit a genuine mickey mouse magicshine light.
But they do fit the dealextreme XML-T6 single lights.
