I couldn't resist at £42.84!

Actually I've ordered two so I can have a spare charger at work and I'll no doubt flog one lamp unit on the bay for what it cost once the deal is finished.

Incidentally this should really be in the classified tips thread but its such a peach it can stay here.

Of course the 1% reduction is asymptotic so it will never be free.  Bah.

Reduction is 1% off list price every 24hrs so no reason why the price can't drop to zero.

In theory it could although I'd be amazed if there are any left by then. If there are, they'll get snapped up fast - I'm sure I'm not the only one who would just order every single one of them Right Now if they were free.

Wiggle have a real tempting offer on at the moment, currently £66.64 and reducing by 1% everyday . This is the new 2013 version with the low battery warning.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/hope-vision-1-led-front-light-with-batteriescharger/

It's now down below £55 - at that price I couldn't resist buying another to go with my older one!

For what it's worth, £55 is pretty much the trade price we normally get at bicycle shop, any lower and they're basically selling for less than they paid for.

Just ordered another red one  :thumbsup:

They are down to £42.84 & there are 51 blue & 14 red left.

Get in there quick!!!

Edit: just to say I've had my current one for several years & it did break last year but when returned to hope they fitted a new circuit board to it & replaced the battery pack free of charge & within a week.

Oh no!  If only I'd held my nerve I could have saved myself a whole £1.19

The remainder of this offer is going to be agony.

Great because whatever price you decide to bite you paid a price you were happy with. I jumped in last week a little over £50 but them's the breaks. If the price goes much lower I might be tempted by another one...

I finally ordered 2x red, as they match the bike better - cost £78.30 (with additional £5 off for over £50)so hopefully that will be mine that have come off the stock level.

I'll have plenty of light up front for LEL that's for sure.

One further tip on this if you are thinking of getting 2 of these and spending over £50 - you can get a further £5 off by signing up for the Wiggle newsletter.

If you're already signed up for the newsletter go to your account page and opt to unsubscribe, then re-subscribe and you'll get another code to use valid for 7 days.

In fact you can do this every time you place an order for more than £50

Dang !   I finally succumbed and went to order a red one, then as I was adding a few other bits and bobs a message popped up saying red was all gone. I shouldn't have dillied (dillyed ?)
