    $10 delivered, spend $10 more on Amazon and you’ll get FAR better lights. These look like they have terrible throw and battery life. False economy.

      Bicycle lights aren't always to illuminate the road. They're to be seen, as mentioned in the promo. This is usually what (we) commuters need at this time of the year.

      Free lights and people still find something to complain about…

            @spaceflight: But not everyone can go out and just collect them, for people that are going to be spending on the postage anyway you can just spend the little extra for something better.

    • PuppieWayne on 20/04/2022 - 18:50

      Or $0 if you collect.

      So technically, you getting a free light and you still complain. True ozbargain spirit! I salute you Sir.

    Great little things, my last pair is still going strong after 6 years.

    • chriaj2689 on 20/04/2022 - 19:17

      6 years of use? On a bike? Mine would stop working with the slightest bit of rain, or bump. Currently sat unused and has been replaced with the aldi set from the most recent catalogue

      • lml on 20/04/2022 - 20:48
        +2

        Yep on a bike. Granted I've only actively ridden the bike daily to work for 2 years and it is always parked inside. Other than that just did the CR2032 battery changes and it's still alive and kicking.

        • chriaj2689 on 20/04/2022 - 21:39

          Still I guess for a free I can't complain!

        • tunzafun001 on 21/04/2022 - 01:03
          +2

          These use CR2032 batteries? … Sounds highly wasteful.

          I bought the generic $2 rear ebay bike lights (2 x AAA) in 2004..still going fine.

          • spaceflight on 21/04/2022 - 11:20

            @tunzafun001: How is the CR2032 more wasteful than a single use AAA?

            • tunzafun001 on 21/04/2022 - 12:33
              +2

              @spaceflight:

              1. 2032 will last minutes at best on full on cycle.

              2. AAA's are rechargeable.

              • spaceflight on 21/04/2022 - 15:16

                @tunzafun001:

                2032 will last minutes at best on full on cycle.

                A typical CR2032 has 240 mAh
                A rechargeable AAA has about 1,000 mAh and a non rechargeable has about 1,250 mAh.

                So the CR2032 will last about 25% of what a single rechargeable AAA will.

                AAA's are rechargeable.

                Some are and some are not.

    • Commenter on 20/04/2022 - 20:30

      I have one from four years ago as it came with a bike. Still works but I hardly use it as I have a Giant Recon 1800.

  • salmon123 on 20/04/2022 - 21:20

    Negging deal, cos these guys are first class a**holes. I'd be surprised if they actually handed over the free lights in store.

    Bikes not delivered, poorly assembled, non-existent post-sales support, rude staff … list goes on.

    I might be wrong and maybe they've changed their ways, but I don't see any evidence of that on google reviews, yet.

    • iNeed2Pee on 20/04/2022 - 21:38

      They started off well at the North Melbourne store. They might have become too big for their own good.

        I have a Reid, and I've never heard of a bike company stir up such strong hate. Maybe I don't trawl forums enough but every Reid post seems to be followed by a regular dose of vitriol (not that the above is)

          I've never heard of a bike company stir up such strong hate

          It's a valid point.

          The only other companies that I can think of stirring up similar levels of hate might be abortion clinics or abattoirs … but then we don't see to many deals from those businesses here … then again, the pro-lifers and vegans probably don't hang out here either.

              @Boodek: What values judgement? I didn't think I made a comment on abortions or meat-eating, did I?

              I simply said that Reid Cycles inspires a similar amount of hate from ozbargainers, that an abortion clinic might get from pro-lifers … in the sense that one of us might throw a bucket red paint over a Reid Bicycle in a public space.

            Do you think they like wasting money?

            • salmon123 on 21/04/2022 - 17:38

              @Almost Banned: Too many condom deals for pro-lifers. Too many meat deals for vegans.

              Do you think they like wasting money?

              The best way to save money is to avoid ozbargain and not buy anything.

      Just picked up these lights. Store staff was super friendly. Asked me how many I said just one pair. They said here’s a another pair for your girlfriend.

      Quick and easy.

  • gopp on 20/04/2022 - 21:31

    These lights are crap. Not water (splash) proof. I bought a box for like $2. Not worth the postage or fuel.

    • sh4hp on 21/04/2022 - 05:58

      You sure those $2 ones were rated as waterproof?

      I've gotten some before, and price does make a difference. The cheap $1 knockoff ones definitely has not waterproofing to it, but the more expensive ones (or rather properly designed ones) do.

  • Stopback on 20/04/2022 - 22:34

    Got a pair with my Samson bike.

    Still going strong but hardly ride.

    Like two led bulbs so weak but good enough to be seen.

    they're the same ones i picked up for free many years ago. not good enough for use as dedicated lights but good for attaching to saddle bags and as back-ups

    https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4001179589556.html

    They are LED COB tech so they are much brighter safety lights and they are rechargeable. They hold charge very well when unused. If you can pickup Reid for free good otherwise it isn't the best choice.

              @Iluvfreebies-freeDel: I received C&C notice from Dandenong VIC store via the mobile numbers I signed up and made orders with (just 2 accounts, me and the missus).

              Order notification was through email, but the C&C notice was only through the respective mobile numbers.

              I rocked up and the guy was pretty busy, I said I was here to C&C the free lights. He asked how many whilst reaching into the box to grab a handful and as I was going to respond he passed 3x to me. Thanked the guy and left with much appreciation =D
