They were in the e-mailed special offers I received today. The solar panels are £89.99 and £209.99 reduced from £109.99 and £259.99 respectively. The order codes are L14BR and L16BR. (Not fantastically cheap though)

The gas detector is a hand held one originally £29.99 before being reduced to £14.98 code number N35AC
