    Brill. Thanks very much. Just ordered a couple. I have used them before without a problem.
  • Hi

    I've oredered NiMH batteries and a bike light from LED Shoppe, the batteries do not hold charge very well and the light stopped working on the first day.

    I have e-mailed them but no reponse yet, personally i will not be using them again.

    The stuff is shipped from Hong Kong, so takes about 2 weeks to arrive.

    Haven't had any probs with payment/shipping.

    Hope that helps.

    I've made 3 orders now. I have a USB hub, bluetooth adapter, and memory card reader.

    All were *very* cheap, arrived in 1 week, were as described and WORK.

    Yes they're low end, arguably a bit tacky, and may not last but they are a great bargain option.

    I got the £2.50 blutooth 2.0 EDR dongle - best purchase so far.

    hint - pay by a nationwide credit/debit card to also save additional foreign currency loading .

    Thanks for this, as pointed out you can get the 2.0 version for the same price:

    Please excuse my ignorance. What is a dongle? Is this a storage device where I can download all my pictures freeing up space on my PC. Is it just plug into a USB port?

    Google is your friend!

    No, it's not a storage device. It simply plugs into your PC's USB port & allows bluetooth devices (keyboards, mice, phones, headsets) to communicate with your PC.

    As it goes, I ordered a bluetooth dongle from Ledshoppe....it sucks! (in fact, it sucks so much, that I now use it for vaccuuming down the back of the sofa)

    I've used them before, no problems, does take quite a while for the goods to come thru, but it is from hong kong and it is free

    + use the code here if placing an order

    if you look at the new newsletter sign up page, they have some bigger LED torches, memory card reader. does anyone know the code for the card reader?

  • Got my order today 6 days from placing it. Goods are very much cheap & cheerful, but they work which is what matters at the end of the day. And I got a free laser pointer too. :)
