Re: Philips Cycle Lights - Spanniga producing new versions soon
Believe me - I'm looking for a UK or reliable foreign online supplier and I'll update as soon as I find one as there are some very tasty lights in this range.
Used my winter bike with Philips Saferide 60 dynamo light with the Lumiring rear as a steady light and a Seesense on flash this morning - great combination

Velo Vitality are listed on the Spanninga website as their UK dealer. I've emailed them to ask if they will be taking stock of the Elips. Perhaps if other interested parties do the same it might prove mutually beneficial?

Snap- I've done the same and e- mailed them as well. If they get enough e mails, it will be in their self interest to hold stock. Obviously we've both been searching the Spanninga website at the same time.

I did ring but got an answer phone saying they were in the middle of moving to a new shop.

I also contacted Spanninga and they said the release date had been delayed and it might be late January before they are on sale...

Re: Philips Cycle Lights - Spanniga producing new versions soon
I've got a couple of 60 lux Dynamo saferide Sojumped at an 80 NiMH powered saferide on eBay. Could a Busch and Muller Luxos U power / charge the saferide through its USB port?
The Phillips optics are way better than the Luxos so looking forward to Spanniga marketing these.
Could you run the E bike 6-36v version off a li ion battery pack that has multiple 3.7v cells?
Thanks

Re: Philips Cycle Lights - Spanniga producing new versions soon
There may be options to modify the electrics to run the Philips 80 Lux as a dynamo lamp but there isn't a simple plug and play option via the USB port to power the light.
My understanding is that when charging the batteries through the USB the light is disabled.

Elips rear dymano lamp now listed as in stock at Gambiet.
Just bought a Philips branded original .
Edit: Now fitted and given a test spin in the garage, looks like I made a good choice.

^ Thanks gaz for the heads up
Ooh exciting! Been waiting for another of these SUPERB rear dyno lamps/refelectors AND I now need/want a battery version too
Hats off to Spanninga for taking over where Philips sadly left off - and cheaper

Excellent news I read this guys reviews and, while eccentric, very informative.
Cannot wait for the all of the new range to appear as will be buying both battery and dynamo taillights with the battery Saferide 60 copy.
I wonder what the quality is like vis a vis the Philips originals?

Anybody heard from Velo Vitality whether they'll be stocking these? I might drop them a line myself. They only have four Spanninga rear lights on their website, which seems a little disappointing given they're the official importer.

I've e-mailed them twice, no reply, and got answer phone when I called.
