Is the Xeccon battery inside the light or does it have those seperate batteries with a wire?

 

The ones on buycyle have internal rechargeable batteries - I haven't tried them yet, but I'm keen.

I like my older xeccon light with very small back and front light and separate wired remote connected to one battery pack (although getting the wiring just right on the bike can be a PITA).

 

Buycycle has the Xeccon lights advertised at the same price as the onedayonly deals:

Edit: and there's a 5% discount if you sign up for emails and shipping is free

 

The 5% discount email sign-up didn't work, but they threw in some free-stuff with my order. Arrived within a day of paying for the order. I see the price is still the same.

 

Ordered both front lights and the rear light to play with (told my wife and kids thank-you for the early father's day present).

 

Quality seems good. Front lights seem bright compared to the other lights I have (sorry, no fancy comparison tech stuff - all I can tell is that the beam patterns are all slightly different). I think they'll work fine on my road bike. Nice not to have the extra wires required for an external battery pack. I prefer the strobe on the CS 01 to the Spear 900. (As nice/fancy as some other lights look at R7000, for what I need my Magicshines that I bought about 8 years ago for less than R500 are still going strong with a new battery.) 

 

Not overly impressed with the rear light brightness at that price (which was sort of expected at only 30 lumens and after looking at a Mars 30 review online).

Takealot have these camelbak things on 50% daily deal today. Apparently its used for cycling, although in my circle of riding friends I have never seen such a thing. Maybe someone on here might be interested??
