European version of Bikeplanet Superflash

Just wanted to warn anyone purchasing the European version of Planetbike Superflash. It looks pretty similar (the rear part of it is transparent gray instead of white) and it's labeled as "Smart" instead of "Planet Bike". The real difference is the flashing pattern - UK version does not come with the unique blink-blink-BLINK pattern. Instead, it simply blinks all 3 leds together. Maybe someone will find this information useful.

P.S.
Kudos for Dave from www.ukbikestore.co.uk. It's one of the few UK bike shops which would ship to Latvia with no questions asked.

How much was shipping, and did they take your bank card or did you have to pay by bank transfer?

It was £3. Shipping together with the light itself was a little less than Ls 15. They accepted my VISA Classic.

Excellent. Did you ever find a headlight?

Hmmm...actually,I think I'd prefer the constant blinking to the US pattern. Should be more attention-getting.
