in It's gone, but was it any good?
Reduced to £2.50 today, they are fantastic lights. Bright and they have a hook so you can hang them up or stick to the fridge with the magnets.

    They are no way near as good. The Poundland ones are cheap, they break easily when you taken back off. The Rolson ones are also magnetic and at least 100% better made and more brighter by factor of 100% if not more. I got several of these in house and car. I also tried the osram and Philips type and Rolson beat them every time

    I ordered these when you posted GingerDi & have just had an email to say they have been despatched. Thanks
    I have been looking for something like this for ages, never seen them in Home Bargains & I do check there regularly.
    Booo!!!

    My nearest Home Bargains is miles away and for £2.50 delivered, you can't go wrong. Great little lights.

    I got a couple of these from Sainburys for the same price - they're with the tools & motoring bits.
