Hmm. More available payload eaten into . Bet we don't get a partial refund either - Calor Lites are more expensive than standards, both initially & refills.

More like a cash cow !
little publicised cut off dates for sure and then no more swap outs so pay again my freinds

Wow we were just about to get another 6 kg lite ready for. Month in France !
Thanks for heads up ( also hols off now !what was wrong with the latest model and what about deposit costs payback?

 

[magicsurfbus]

Also worth noting that some manufacturers assume a single 6Kg Lite cylinder (c. 10.5Kgs full) in the small print when calculating available payload.

Don't know why they can't get there act together and produce light bottles like the Spanish ones, which are so light and readily available.

 

[wingman]

Aw that's a bloody nuisance, thanks for the heads-up.
I've got two 6Kg 'Lites', with one due for exchange, so what's the move now? Might explain why my local Go Outdoors is not showing any stock?

 

[Melvin]

When I initially got the Lite bottles they were more expensive ,so when I have to go back to the heavies will there be a refund. Also when they iintroduce there new lite version will I be able to swap over to them or have to pay for new new ones. I do wish Color had some serious competition because there a real ripoff.

Will calor be able/willing to refill your existing "calorlite" cylinders?

Will calor be able/willing to refill your existing "calorlite" cylinders?

Short answer. NO!. The reason is that have to be Checked and "serviced" before refill.

 

[Clarky]

Presumably refills will still be available, but in smaller quantities. Numbers will decrease until they run out of serviceable cylinders.
Perhaps by that time a new lightweight cylinder will be available.

Not a problem for me though as I have Gaslow in the van and only use a couple of Calorlite's for the BBQ at home.

£100 + p&p
Waiting for a rush of replies,

Damn! You got my hopes right up!
But I'm looking for two of them so will have to pass.

The cynic in me says Calor probably have the new version ready to launch as soon as they have all the Lites out of circulation. They will then be in a position to charge a hefty premium for converting from standard ones.

Cheque's in the post. Given the price for each cylinder I've guessed postage at £50 each so it's for £300.
Nae VAT receipt required since a trust yi.
