I have a set coming from Action LED. DX takes too long to deliver.

i have the mj 872 and like it. dx was my first choice but no stock! that is bloody cheap if they have stock.

I bought one from DX. It took a few weeks to get here. I have not taken into the woods yet but it looks well built. Shitty that I paid $127 for mine.

You'll still pay $127 if you click on the link that states the price when shipped to Canada. Pick it up in Blaine and profit.

I have no idea what you were doing to a Magicshine.

hacking it up as usual, i guess

a dirt cheap POS pack could be built for ~$10.

Not sure I'd want a hacked together Li battery with no overcurrent protection stuffed in my backpack tho. Could be entertaining for the guy behind you, when you go up in flames…

Worth it to drop a few extra dollars on a properly built battery pack.

Exactly

I just picked up the magicshine mj-880 and wow it looks pretty good. Can't wait to try it out. Bought from action-led on a Monday night and they had it to the border by thurs morning.

Might buy one of those 872's just to check em out.

I got a cree xlt 1800 lumens off ebay for 30$ It took forever to get here but it works as good or better as my vista 200 system did back in 97' that I paid $300 for.

do you have a border broker account somewhere? might be interested in a group buy. dave was going to pick up another light as well; might be down…

Talk to dave and maybe we'll see if we can get something going.

I have the Magicshine MJ-880 and the updated version of the MJ-808. Both lights cost 300.00. They work great with no issues and were a great way to get into night riding…

i use shipito, awesome parcel forwarding company. ship everything to their oregon location and save yourself the tax.
