[#2381511]

Hi,
Any users of this light had any issues with the wire that goes into the light breaking?
Mine has split and I am a smudge miffed. I think it's stress on the joint that's done it as I only use it for commuting.
I have contacted spoke bloke so it should get sorted I am just curious if anyone else has had this prob.

First report of this problem (I would say that though...)
Will get it sorted.

Ordered Friday night, arrived today.

Seems excellent for £55-00.

Used it for the commute for the first time tonight - much brighter than a Hope Vision 1.

Cheers spokeybloke 🙂 I sent you a message on your contact us thingy (I assume you got it??).
How come you don't do the Owlet any more???? My mate is after one as he was impressed with mine (he has a Hope vison 2!!).
Cheers

Edit: RE no email I am shocked, as he was v prompt with me late last year.

Blimey - that looks good value.
So, for £200 you can have a bar/helmet combo packing quite a punch although I suspect the 1100 lumen light would be more than ample on it's own.

Lights are getting a bit like PC's were in the 90's. No sooner have you bought the 'top of the range' then it's superseded by something that's twice as fast (bright) with twice the memory (run time)!

Thanks Spokebloke - order just placed. And thanks for the hoody - very cool although the missus thinks I'm trying to regain my yoof (not true, I xdidn't like hoodies then).

very good reviews for this light

http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/light-and-go-fireball-bike-light-review/

Rode with a guy last night that just received the lightandgo Fireball light set. Holy hell was that thing bright. Way brighter than my Magicshine. It was more like a flood light instead of having a bright spot like the Magicshine. It was a very white light. When he was behind me, it was causing me to be a shadow. I was very impressed. Thinking of getting one to mount to my handlebar.

Am I the only person who finds the new Spokeshirts website doesn't actually work at all? You click on something, there's a 'loading' type line and then.... nothing happens at all...?

Just me?

Thatt's a bit worrrying - it was checked with 57 browsers (and I thought there were only about 5) and passed with flying colours - but you're not the first to mention problems...

Try another browser is my only suggestion at the mo. Sorry.
