DX XML bike light $32.39 (updated with pics)

Now I need only to buy a bike.....

Now 531… SOLD OUT! :smiley:

531 * 32,39 = 17.199,09$ in less then 24h

collectively we saved 5.793,21$

pff last time this kind of light had a really low price they didn't honor the deal, so no thx

Almost all of these from DX -> to me have had blemishes on emitters, so be adviced, they probably are not the most perfect ones...

Thanks. I don't expect it to be perfect by any means. But worst case, I'll do my own mods to it. One thing it will certainly need (from what I've read) is better heating sinking, i.e. good layer of thermal compound under the star, and possibly a new heat sink.

"didn't honor the deal" how?

well, now it's too late for warnings, already ordered...

While I used this light on my bike I never had problems with the heat, even while running on 100% for more than 20 minutes. However, SSC-P7 version which I also used had a noticeable warming but I never experienced that the light lowers its output to prevent overheating...

Thanks for the input.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "you never had problems"? Are you meaning the light never got warm, or it became warm, but not really hot? In my experience, any XML light driven reasonable well is going to get warm, which is a good sign of heatsinking. My concern is if the light does NOT get warm at all, which would indicate the heat is not being properly removed from the LED/Driver pill. This could potentially be harmful for both if exposed to that much heat for excessive periods.

Well, it gets a little bit warm to the touch but nothing significant, it feels like you could left it ON for days, but I tested it only while riding bike so there was an air flow to...

My only objection to this light is that it has no MID mode, just very HI and moderate LO and of course annoying STROBE!!! Before this offer by DX I wanted to order this one from MF just because of better mode arrangement...

Can't wait to get them

What's the status of your order ppl?


They cancelled it because of pricing the item wrong and send me back the money, but only after 1,5 months waiting to get to know they would cancel.

That sounds reasonable if you were on a ride and the air was actively cooling the head down. I still plan to crack it open and ensure adequate thermal paste is present between star and heatsink. I also want to redo the optic system to make it more floody - no sense having a spotlight in front.

Order status is currently packaging

Yeah, but it was a Magicshine, for $2.99, and we didn't really expect to get it, did we?

Yeah, that would be highly suspect.

The price of the clone is more realistic and I wouldn't expect it to be cancelled because it was priced too low. Only question is...how long will it take?

I am a bit curious if this light has been shipped to someone here?

I can't check because my friend who purchased this lights for me is abroad these days .

but my order status is packaging

I ordered some other things on 26/04 and on 27/04 I got email that "The available portion has been shipped first. The rest will be shipped later." and this offer ended on 24/4!!!

Oh well, maybe i'm too impatient

Still shows packaging :-(

buy a light, sooner or later it WILL get dark

Just got word it shipped (9 days after order)

Same for me, dis not check T&T yet.
