Received the Blackburn Mars 4.0 today
Initially thought yeah it looks quite bright, so I compared it with my Mars 3.0.
The Mars 3.0 was brighter :(
Then I took the alkalines out that it shipped with and replaced them with 2 nice new lithiums (AAA)
Well !:D
In my unscientific wall test it...
Whilst perusing a well known UK internet Bike store I happened upon this...
Here's the spec
Top Features of the Blackburn Mars 4.0 Safety Rear Light
This is one light that has to be seen to be believed
Very powerful and compact design
Combines a 1 watt ultra bright rear facing red LED...
Oh !
and it has'nt gone unoticed that NOT ONE OF YOU has bothered to mention
that the Fenix-Store sell replacement heads.....
Shame on you trying to make me spend more when I have Children to feed.......
sneaks off to buy a replacement head.....and another L2dce......and maybe a...
Right then,
I'm going to order an L2d ce Q5 as i have loads of L91's
and
a P3d Q5 for my Cycle Helmet.........
or as a spare, you know! 2 is 1 and all that.....
or.. er.. ummm....... I'll think of something to justify it........:whistle:
Just send me the head of an L2d, RB100 or Q5, he wont mind
and I'll send you back a fully sorted version.:whistle:
He ( the fenix engineer ) was last seen going through my wifes handbag, searching for her L1d....it has now been hidden.
So I'm lying there on saturday morning thinking that 05:30 is just a little too early for my 2 little boys to be using the bed as a trampoline.
"Cut it out", I whisper a little too loudly...
"OK daddy" and off they go in to the corner of the room.
Sleep begins to take hold again when a...
Just about to pull the trigger on a couple of Planet Bike superflashes, when I spotted the Smart versions !
seem to be widely available in the UK too
Saves on shipping from the U.S., just hope its the same as the PB.
I'll Order one closer to payday and report back...
Is this what your thinking about ?
I suppose it could be made to fit a helmet etc...

Afternoon !
Any one try these handsome looking things ?
available here

I emailed them a while back and they were prepared to ship to the U.K.,
did'nt buy in the end as they only fit 1" bars and I'm using an over sized bar on my mtb.
simplest...
I posted these a while back but the thread got shunted to somewhere less visible.

They look ideal for L2D CE, only thing is they might not fit some MTB Handlebars
perhaps someone might already have them !!!!!
Cheers
