http://www.cyclingexpress.com/ send me a email with the code "12wide" for a 12% discount on all their products so I checked it out.
Found the best price I've seen on the "Moon Light X-POWER 500" bike light @$87.95 after discount code ($115.00 on ebay).
Ordered that and the "MoonLight SHIELD Rear Light - 60 Lumens" for another $26.40 after discount ($47.00 on ebay).
Code is used after login
USB rechargeable as well? power and flash settings? Quick release so someone doesn't nick it while you are in the shop?
Moon is a over priced brand I know.
Yes, its not the same. I just thought it worth mentioning that there are much cheaper alternatives that have other advantages too for some people. I have one from DX and it has been great.
USB-recharge is really only useful for small batteries.
Moon is a over priced brand I know.
Compared to what?
There wasn't a single light in that link that truly compared.
Outside of that link, what else is similar or better for the price?
Compared to other random brand 500 Lumens lights on ebay.
So you are comparing a branded light manufactured in Taiwan to some random light made in China?
Don't see how they are "over priced"
Well then Sir, I have many thing I can sell you!
Just because it's made in China, it doesn't make it any better or worse then in Taiwan.
$88 for a pushie light is ridiculous.
The Moonshite has a max of 1500Lux
He're a 3600lux for $42.50

Or a whole site of overpriced (but cheaper this this deal)

Personally I recommend a cheapie from DX, this lights up the road & is easy on the juice,

Awesome, might get this for my bike I found in the council clean up.
Moon shield rear is a good buy. Cheapest I've seen to date for them.
This model won the latest round-up of lights from Bicycle Victoria, Choice etc.'s panel of testers. Can't really compare to all those cheap lights.
BTW, the code didn't work for me today, wonder if it was only for existing account holders who had been sent the email, anyone else had any luck?
can't or won't compare?
You'll notice they did not declare anything, but each model had a single web address for a supplier.
So we might deduce that they only review lights that are supplied to them for free.
This is better than most cycling magazines, which only review equipment sold by their advertisers.
The better Chinese lights use the same Cree XM-L emitters as the better brand name lights.
can't or won't compare?
Both, they can’t compare a light that you can’t easily access, and by easily access, I mean walk into a physical retail out let and purchase.
So we might deduce that they only review lights that are supplied to them for free.
Correct.
This is better than most cycling magazines, which only review equipment sold by their advertisers.
Completely false.
code was only valid for 4 days I think
Compact, but that makes battery life limited.
Other kits are available with the same XM-L emitter, but a 4-cell li-ion battery, for under $50 delivered.
