LED Bike Light Order
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 10:12 pm
Hi All,
Last year a group of us ordered winter bike lights from deal extreme. We got 3 phase LED light with Li ion batteries. They had a great set up with easy to install bar mounts and headlight set up, quite light weight, great lighting, never ran out of batteries except for one day when I tried for two rides on one charge. Of the 14 sets we had on one defective light and one crushed connector mtn biking. The remaining sets are as good as new. We bought lots of extra sets thinking there would be a high failure rate. They do tend to run quite hot and I turn them down or off if not moving. These are the lights we got (they were red last year):

This year we are getting another 15 sets but will mix in some of the 1200 lumen light sets. Here is the link:

I am sticking to the 900 lumen sets for road riding as they work so well and I think the 1200s may be too bright in a pack and shadow other riders. They may also run too warm. I will try a set of the brighter ones for mtn biking.
I am willing to order TSC riders who respond to the thread the lights at the following prices:
900 lumen set 43.20 +$5 handling/tax/duty etc.. if any.
1200 lumen set 47.20 +$5 handling.
You can also order them at the posted price yourself!
There will likely be a group discount and a profit which I will feed back into the club for the Christmas party or Junior Program. Shipping is (about one week)...nope...actually 3 weeks.
Please let me know by Saturday if you want me to order you some by responding to this thread or sending me a PM.
