Huh? I couldn't make any sense of your post

The answer to your presumably rhetorical question is of course China, bit as we know that's only part of the equation. If you buy a Lezyne or other established brand you know what you are getting, buy a solarstorm and you have no idea which of many factories it came from and the quality or safety of the parts used. I'm sure many people have perfectly good solarstorm or similar lights but it's disingenous to say the Lezyne are a poor rival when there are so many variables.

I charge my solarstorm at work, never had an issue with charger. Never had any issues with the charger. What it does do is light my way on canal paths. Don't need to pay 10-20 times the price for branded gear. Where is the lezyne light made?

Are these those strobe lights that blind other road users?

Not if they're pointing downwards like most sensible and courteous cyclists would do.

No, another advantage of buying 'proper' lights not Chinese lanterns.

I bought these as a set for £17.99 a couple of months ago and can't fault them.

I've mounted them with the rubber band and also zip-tied them on to stop an opportunist thief easily making off with them. I charge them while on the bike using a USB charger plug and a USB extension cable. Works a treat!!

Got these for my son, with two coca cola water bottles! 9.49 delivered, good find!

Great spot... I'd been after a set of spares and these will do the trick. Shame I couldn't have them both in the black finish, it's much faster than standard silver... ;-)

Can't fault price but 70 lumens? Not that bright really I have the 800XL front light which goes to 800 lumens

callumfraser4912 to Justsuperman

I had the 800XL - Very bright light, was very pleased with it until I came to charge it for only the 5th time. Unfortunately when inserting the supplied USB cable into the light to charge the unit, the socket came away from the circuit board and is now firmly attached to the cable instead. Seems to be a weak point in what is otherwise a good light. I am now in the process of a returning to CRC who will hopefully issue a refund. Have replaced the light with an Exposure Strada 800 which was substantially more expensive but is a much better light and much better quality.

Ordered, dropped my lights in a canal last week so good timing..

I second the recommendation of two lights. Better still, ensure at leastone of them is a powerful one ljke a Smart 1/2 watt. Put it this way, your lif is worth more than 8 pounds.

I've got the 600XL which suddenly stopped powering on (would also charge forever without completing). Used maybe once a week since purchase to ensure it was never left to flatten.

Lezyne repaired it within about 10 days but I'm just more concerned if it died while out riding. Brilliant beam pattern and flood of light but people are right to question the reliability

Heat added for the prices but I'm not sure I'd want my backup to be lezyne too (although you could argue the chance of both failing at the same time is remote).

I never ride with only one light at the back or front.
Decathlon do great little lights for £8.50 (£15 for a pack of 2) that are tiny, charge from a standard USB connector, can be fixed anywhere and can be used either front or rear (they have a red LED and a white LED). They're the ideal spare light in case either fails.
But at this price I'd be tempted just to buy 2 of each of these Lezynes! Sure they might fail, but a 2 year warranty still makes them great value.

rapuchy

3 Feb 17 #20

be aware that, most reviews indicated that after one winter those lights can't hold charge, so you can't use literally unless you throw whole thing in the bin , I have also ordered now need to return though .

supermann to rapuchy

3 Feb 17 #22

Yes but how many disposable batteries do you throw away with other lights? Guess it depends if you use rechargeable batteries in your bike lights normally.

Rickardo to rapuchy

4 Feb 17 #31

Is that because over spring and summer they didn't then charge and use them for all that period? I would suggest that all rechargeable batteries should be used and charged every so often regardless.

Great price for branded lights with a warranty. Not the brightest but great as an extra light or backup.

Lezyne stuff is good quality if a tad over priced. If looking for lights solarstorm x3 from ebay is a far better option, there is no way you wont be seen with them.

hutokdeals to mcrobbj

3 Feb 17 #21

They are £15. These are £3. And you say these are over priced. Yet I still searched ebay in case you had a point. Nevermind.

johnnystorm to mcrobbj

3 Feb 17 1 #24

Totally different type of lights. It's not better if you want something you can keep in your pocket, charge at work in your pc sub ports, etc. Nevermind that Lezyne are a company that makes quality products with a warranty and not a faceless Chinese wholesaler who hasn't put a fuse in the charger.

What's the difference with pro and non pro in terms of usage and quality?

johnnystorm to dealerxxx

3 Feb 17 #23

Identical quality, the pro model is a more powerful front light. The normal KTV is for being seen with, not for lighting the road, illuminating obstacles, etc.

3 Feb 17 #19

ordered for use as extra be-seen lights. Hopefully the rear light will fit on my crash hat. To get to over £9 for free P&p I added 2 Coke branded water bottles at £1.99 each.

I nearly bought one of the front lights last time they were on offer, but I'd much prefer it to come with a bracket to permanently fix to the handlebar as opposed to having to stretch the mount over - I've not got much space on my bars so it makes these a bit of a pain. Shame.

Cheers OP. Bought a pair with a pack of puncture repair patches for £1.80, taking it just over £9 for free delivery.
