  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2010 - 12:34

    365 and only 10year warranty???

    i want lifetime warranty and a maid for a week to do house work for that price.

    if it was 69c i'd consider buying one

  • clandestino on 27/05/2010 - 12:34

    $356 for a light… and its reduced to $69 ?!! wow, so I'm saving nearly $300 !!!! this must be a great deal, I might buy all 200.

  • kiwipride on 27/05/2010 - 12:36

    Buy one at Bunnings for $19.95. Call it Italian if you like. Even at $69 this is way over priced for a butt ugly light.

  • clandestino on 27/05/2010 - 12:40

    must admit I was a bit disappointed when I looked at the photo of the light… it looks extremely ordinary, and I would agree that $69 is way overpriced for this item… it isn't a bargain that's for sure.

  • asa79 on 27/05/2010 - 12:41

    Cant see where you would use it in a residental house

    Which prison decided not to go ahead with this order?

  • mikkim4eva on 27/05/2010 - 13:02

    That's a bit harsh, the light is great! for people who is too rich that is XD

  • SmartCover on 27/05/2010 - 13:03

    i think they fit these in submarines..

    Need more info/second opinion on this light from people who are in the industry.

    Personally I don't think negative votes are justified if the light indeed falls in a high-end price range and the quality is good.
    That's like saying having a genuine sale for real Gucci bags (e.g. 70% off RRP) and having it downvoted simply because you can still get cheaper brands/fake ones.
    Luxury brand for bags may not float my boat, but it's a bargain nevertheless.

    good deal
    i want to buy all 200

    • SmartCover on 27/05/2010 - 13:34

      do you build prisons or submarines?

    sorry node9 were not like you to buy luxury brands only, especially when its a luxury that looks like S***.

      Please read my post properly… ಠ_ಠ
      Luxury brand doesn't float my boat. As a matter of fact, I buy most things based on their value for ruggedness/longetivity.
      I agree it doesn't look fancy, but people do have different tastes.

  • lostincanberra on 27/05/2010 - 14:13

    I'm not surprised that the 'special project' got dumped. If you're spending that much on 'bunker' lights, someone was dreaming/ smoking something interesting…

    This is the exact same sales pitch as the people selling dodgy speakers out of white vans.

  • rack on 27/05/2010 - 14:45

    Isnt this deal similar to http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/25932 where they tried to sell rugs marking it high then offering a 25% discount on that.

  • R.R.P on 27/05/2010 - 14:55

    People with more money than sense would buy this.

    This is clearly not your 'average' residential light. Vandal proof, with a 10 year warranty is not something you would see on a $20 bunnings light, nor would you see them in public areas, (not for very long anyhow….). This has a fairly specific purpose and market, and is likely priced accordingly.

    In Afghanistan or Bhagdad…. You could get from A to B in a Barina, or in an armoured personnel carrier…if all goes well, you get the same outcome….however, I'm sure most of us would pay more for the added security and peace of mind of an armoured car.

    If I was wanting a light that was exposed to a public street, I'd want similar peace of mind that I wasn't going to be replacing it every morning.

    If we are comparing apples with apples, and this is cheaper than any competitors, then it's a bargain in my book.

        best analogy i could come up with at short notice… :)

    lol vandal proof (unless you happen to have an alan key).

  • pauly on 28/05/2010 - 00:01

    For those who voted negative on this deal so far, I would suggest that you read the voting guidelines:

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

    It's fine if you're voting negative because the item is overpriced, however please justify this with a source and not just because you think it's expensive. Otherwise, it will be just an opinion - something that is not sufficient to justify a negative vote.

    Negative votes are not for expressing your dislikes toward a deal. They are generally used as a warning. Please remember that voting negative will not only remove the deal from people that may actually benefit from it, but it may also impose a penalty on the poster of the deal.

    I'm revoking all the negative votes that have been made so far as they do not meet the voting guidelines.

      Although I didn't vote neg (my comments were however), most people here are after REAL bargains. If Bugatti were having a $5000 off sale, and I posted it here, would that 'bargain' suit the people who use this site? I think not. $70 for a bunker light in most people's opinion is not really a bargain. Just my 3 cents.

      • andy19363 on 28/05/2010 - 09:27
        +2

        There's a difference between 'cheap' and 'bargain'.

        If the Bugatti was on special, and cheaper than anywhere else at the time, then that's a bargain. We don't restrict bargains that might be geographically limiting, and I don't think that we should restrict bargains that might be financially limiting…..If we follow that line, aiming for the lowest possible cost, we would only list no-name tv's, and stuff from deal extreme, focal price and two dollar shops.

        Besides….many people here might well be able to afford a bugatti, due to their prudent financial management and shrewd purchasing…. :)

        kiwiprice, agreed that most people here are after bargains. After all, it is OzBargain. And also agreed that most people wouldn't see this as a bargain, hence the lack of positive vote count. This alone would not make the deal to the front page and would cause the deal to be buried over time.

        However this doesn't mean that they should be voting negative just because they think it isn't a bargain. On OzBargain, negative votes are generally for alerting others that there is something fundamentally wrong with the deal (e.g. can be found cheaper elsewhere justified by a source, contain hidden catches such as contracts or hidden fees which were not disclosed, illegal product, bad experience with the product, etc — i.e. facts). Negative votes have the potential of making the deal unavailable to everyone and like andy19363 pointed out, some who may benefit from the deal would miss out.

        Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that people cannot express their dislikes of a deal. In fact, discussions from either sides are always welcomed. However if they simply don't like the deal or personally think it's not a bargain, then a no-vote would simply reflect this.
