Magicshine
Anyone know of a Canadian distributor/Dealer for Magicshine products?

Ordering from Geoman worked fine for me when I bought my light a year ago.
My light was shipped via US Postal Service, so when I picked up the package from the post office I just needed to pay a $5 customs/handling fee and GST/PST on the declared value.

Yes, I found their website but it said that they no longer ship outside the US.

GeoManGear has temporarily discontinued sales of Magicshine lightsets due to our concerns regarding the quality of Magicshine's lithium-ion battery packs.

Actually they are currently not selling magicshines at all, due to their poor battery quality.

You would hope that there is someone that is a "battery geek" and somewhat innovative that would build some really good batteries for these lights. Seems like a pretty good money making venture. I would do it... but I would probably build a battery that is worse than the one that is already being sold (i'm not technically gifted in batteries and electronics.)
I guess it's time to fork over the money for a new wheel with the Schmidt hub and a generator powered light.
