i was looking in robert dyas today (as i got a 5quid off voucher for bank holiday monday when i bought some batteries the other day) and i spotted these
I have bought 3 from here . They are bright enough to be able to read with and the batteries lasted more than 30 hours.

Why are they going for a penny on ebay?
i presume it is a marketing ploy and they make their profit from the p&p. All their stuff is 1p or 49p.
I find it a bit offputting (what's the catch?) and would probably be more impressed if they were 2.99 with free p&p. but it seems to work for them.

Why are they going for a penny on ebay? have you used them yet? do they do what they claim they do?
pickledegg69, Yes i have used them and they are bright enough to read with. I left one on in the living area of the tent for 4 nights (about 9 hours a night) and they were still working, although a little dimmer.
i got a couple today from robert D (as i had the voucher).
they look brill although i will be taking one back as i can't open it to get at the batteries. At least i don't feel guilty not saving money by waiting for them from hong kong, as a replacement is easy to organise.
i am sure i was just unlucky though. I probably turned it the wrong way and jammed it
Well I got my light from Hong Kong, ordered on 28th May arrived 4th June.
Question please, for those who already have it:
The led bulbs on my light are multi coloured 2 x violet/purple, 4 bright white, others a pale green or a pale yellow. TBH I was expecting all the bulbs to be the same brilliant white. Whilst the other bulbs are coloured when they go on, they still give off a bright light. Is this normal? just curious and can live with it.
i have just checked.. there is a poundland a few miles down the road from me. I will have to pay it a visit. :)
meanwhile.. i have tried my robert dyas lamp (all white bulbs) with 2 different types of rechargeable batteries and it barely lasts for 6 hours. Not even through the night :(
i will go back and see what they say!
oh dear!
i have just put batteries in the second lamp and already some of the bulbs have stopped working
