does anyone know if they are as good as they look?

I heard after the first ride they go 'Bang' and don't work and warrenty doesnt cover it...what have you just brought???





Just pulling your leg,i heard there ridiculous powerful!

BTW the usual thing is to ask us guys then order them not other way round!

Enjoy being slowed down for by cars!

I've been looking at the super novas for a while - since they were featured on the hallowed BM front page.

Then the whole wiggle shenanigans happened, and as they are the sole importers I held off a little longer. I will be getting the P99-d's very shortly though - they do look impressive.

You actually spent that much on lights without seeing them or researching how good they are!?!?

i bought them 2nd hand for a lot less than retail and i didn't have them time to go away and do extensive research. i knew a little about them. i just really wondered if there have been any issues in long term use

Everyone on here seems to use Hope or Lupines, Muggo. Give us an update when you've got your new toy and had a play.

got a bloody chest infection at the minute. i got my head over a bowl of vicks and i'm drugged up to the eye balls.

i can't wait for nightime.

it's like being 10 on bonfire night again or 18 in ibiza.

i'll take my camera out and take some pics as well as letting you know what i think.

That's ok then! I don't think you'll be disappointed, they really are awesome, although quite heavy.

heh, I've seen the shots on the super nova site. They look brighter than Stevie Hawkin :-)

As Lemon said, I look forward to having cars slow down for me and I won't be quite so fearful of twat car drivers taking the apex (and me out in the process) on the roads round here :-)

as for the asking before buying. all i can say is i'm an impulsive guy. carpe diem? (hope thats latin for seize the day).

They are awesome but the Woodland Trust is suing me for blinding too many badgers...

I'm sure they're great, but personally i wouldn't ever bother with a bar only light again. An Edison on your bonce is more than enough and puts light where you look.

Got mine a while back - they are Edison killers, believe me. They are known as "Bunny Boilers" to my riding mates because of a distressing tendency to set light to anything they shine on. :P

Like Steve, I really rate a helmet light and I'd go for a good helmet light over the bar lights any day.... but with the P-99D it's a very tough call.

They are standard Cateye mounting (it's actually a Cateye mount in the box) so you can convert to helmet mount but to be honest there's so much light you could blind yourself in the fog. And they are heavier than most because it's a twin light.

Top tip: while you're here, why not check out the review section? *cough cough*

Q

Just orded some to replace my trusty Cateye Stadium 3, as the bulb is on its way out i think :( cant wait to test these!!
