Super price for an in store. Better than the current Amazon deal. Tried these last night and they're not bad.
This was in Belfast branch beside Toys R Us but should be national.

@50p each now NO excuse for riding your bike with no lights risking being knocked off.....

these aren't adequate in their own, if only use these as emergency backups if I get caught out later than expected.
and the onus is on the driver also to ensure that they can see other road users. a small little blinker will be less noticeable than a 6ft rider.

I bought some of these a few weeks ago for my little girls micro scooter. They fit perfectly.

I agree. These aren't bright enough. Perhaps as a last resort if you only have 1 mile left until you're home but I wouldn't use this as an emergency, simply because it wouldn't be useful!
Not bright enough. I've seen them - or rather not seen them and nearly crashed into other cyclists

Same here, but will be picking up some more... 3 on the back and 3 on the front should see me through the winter.

Sports direct £5.99 last week, certainly not a weak beam in my opinion.

I got a couple of these tied under the saddle in case I ever run out of battery. Got another cheap aaa battery bright one permanently attached too.
I'm not using my many aaa rechargeable battery powered lights anymore. I'm not even using my several expensive USB rechargeable front/rear lights like Zecto etc either.
I'm using about 5 types of cheap USB rechargeable front/rear lights. They cost a fraction of the cost of my expensive USB lights and are basically the same or even newer designs.
Search eBay .com (not .co.UK) for: "usb bike light", sort by cheapest, the very cheapest one or two are too dim to get. Set the ones you do get on flash for visibility and extra hours.
Stay well behind lorries if a left turning or junction coming up. They can't see you and have to turn late. Seen a couple under their wheels. Be careful out there.

If youre caught out in a hevy rainstorm and these start getting wet they quickly fail.
As said by jeremy clarkson once. Work harder, get a car. Lol
