I'm just about to leave work
and have asked halfords in wandsworth to hold onto one for me ....(
6.99 !!)
I tried the New Malden branch but they quoted 11.00

I did. I like the way it says that it does not meet BS if fitted on the
supplied clamp (under saddle). To meet the standard it has a small upward
pointing LED obviously needed to make it visible to passing aircraft!

That is the low battery warning. RTFM! :-)

Indeed.

Evidently :-/

The idea of devices for warning low-flying aircraft is a familiar one.

I did, but took it straight back again. Was very unimpressed with it,
even at 6.99. It didn't seem anywhere near bright enough.

I shelled out an extra 5 quid and got this from Cyclexpress:

Now THAT is one seriously bright back light!

I wouldn't have taken the 6.99 one back. I've been using two of the LD600s
on my trailer for about 18 months and they are great lights. I got an AU100
a couple of weeks ago (12.95 I think) and it now is on my seat post. I'm
very impressed. Not as bright as the LD600s I agree, but the sideways
"throw" is much better than any LED I've tried. If there was a Halfords
within UKP 5 of me I'd go and get another.

That is of course because the AU100's are made to meet the BS I guess.

Personally I don't like the LD600s as they take AAA cells, I prefer AA,
cheaper, last longer, only one sort of battery required for my various
battery lights.
