Lights

Can anybody give me any first hand information/opinions about the blackburn flea?

Scored FIRST in this review:

...that was the subject of another thread on this forum:

BTW, anyone has some experience with the Spooklights wireless brake and turn indicator?

They were positively announced on various tech blogs:

...but there doesn't seem to be any user-reviews available. And, as this is a no-name product, and also VERY EXPENSIVE (£55 product + £22 shipping to mainland Europe), caution is highly advised. Have concerns about ruggedness, waterproofing, brightness etc. I've had the Bicygnals before and it was uttermost junk. Used it only about 2-3 times before it stopped working.

If not, I shall wait until I can grab a Knog Boomer somewhere on the 'net (currently all shops seem to be out of stock)...
