Chip.
The light looks impressive, almost too bright for a bicycle, and at a
kilobuck, way more than I would ever spend on a light. I ride at night
when it's decent outside and the meager light from my Cateye is enough
for any sane speed on a trail. About 15 MPH is my sanity limit at night
unless it is a full moon night where I don't really need the light at
all for off road.
OK, I'm nuts to ride by moonlight only, but it is nice to be able to
ride past the houses with dogs and not have the dogs even know I went by.
That light looks like it might ruin my night vision for looking to the
side for something out of the beam path.
A thousand bucks would sure allow me to trick out my ride, so compare
that to just a high rent headlight.
Anybody want to guess how much you could spend on the ultimate ride?
Start with a thousand dollar light and build a bike around it.
Not me.
