    I got the same message, I'm assuming theyre not in stock at the moment and have to be ordered into your local store.

    If ye want the lights, I wouldn't let the unavailability put ye off. Unlike Argos, halfords honour the price you reserved them at, not the price in store on the day (possibly as they might not be in store on the day otherwise! :D)

    Thanks again to Galego for posting this one. Just picked up my set today in Carrickmines no problem. The price actually shows as a "normal" price as opposed to discounted, so there was no problem using my AXA card. It initially only gave 10% when I thought it should be 15%, and in the end he put it through as 20% off so they only cost me €24! :D But even at € 30 they're still way cheaper than online. Just checked the Halfords website and they're still looking like they can be ordered in for that price in case anyone missed out.

    Just reserved on. The rest light alone costs more than this and I just need the rest to replace a broken Version of the same light. . Great deal

    No longer available on the website. Maybe they mispriced them accidentally?

    I assume if you ordered one it will be available on the 5th? I'm due to collect mine on Friday.

    I need a front light so could buy it from you if you wish to offload it.
    No bother if not.

    Theyre showing as available for me, still €30.

    I picked my set up yesterday, very impressed with them as I tested them out last night.

    Fingers crossed on the light set! My schedule was today in KK, went in, my order on the system but the delivery comes tomorrow. Will see. I want use instead of Lidl one I'm using at the moment, it's ok but I'd like to have more light. The Lezyne has a built in battery, I'd prefer rechargeable AA's. Always have a spare pack in my bag.

    They were for a while today as I saw them too, should have reserved a set myself as great value.

    They were available as I reserved a set for a friend of mine shortly after I posted my reply earlier. I got the confirmation email and they'll be ready for collection on Friday.

    I imagine what was available were just uncollected ones being released back to the site after the reservation lapsed, but there are likely 2 in the country or something silly like that

    Lads, losing the hope for the lights. Missed call from Halfords today, might have it I assumed so went in and asked the girl at the till. The order showed up on screen but she didn't have the order arrived in store. And she noted my pick up date is Wednesday and they never get deliveries on that day. The HQ must be getting the orders wrong- she told me.

    On the side note: on ordering I only got the text confirmation and never received any emails.

    She promised of ringing me once something happens.

    I've been off the bike lately but could use a good light for cheap. Keep you updated.

    Wow. That's brilliant. I'm really happy for you, fair play to you. In fact giz your full name so I can congratulate you properly, feels a bit hollow congratulating a boards handle.

    Oh and ah.... what branch of Halfords was it they're reserved in? In case I'm passing so it can... congratulate them too...??

    :pac:

    What branch is it reserved in? I got the initial confirmation text and email telling me it would be ready from Wednesday at 1pm but they would be back in touch when it was ready for collection. I never heard anything after that but dropped in yesterday afternoon anyway (Coolock branch).

    The guy found my order on the system but faffed around for ages trying to find the lights in some packing crates (which seemed to contain all of the online orders) with no luck. He checked with the other guys in the shop and one of them pointed to behind the counter where they were stashed away separately. Was relieved as I was starting to think it was too good to be true!

    My point is, check with someone else in the shop in case they are hidden away. The communication in Halfords, along with their POS system, is pants in my experience.

    Hope you get sorted.

    Got mine yesterday, waiting ages for the guy to get them from the back. I was in fact convinced that Fat Bloke had been in and collected them. Charged them last night and used them this morning.
    Strong light. Clasps for attaching them are not very long though, so large diameter handlebars may struggle getting them on. No shape to the beam, the light is strong but I would be angling it downwards to stop blinding oncoming traffic.
    Due to the lack of Beam shaping, I would put them in the realm of MTB lights or on weak settings, commuter lights.
    At this point, I may keep them as either emergency back ups, or have it pointed just in front of the wheel to support my cateye Volt.

    Carrickmines. There were none on the shelf, in fact all the Lezyne stock was gone from the shelves.
