Holy crap...that would be like looking directly into the landing lights on a 747!

Do they come with any warnings about "may cause temporary blindness"?

It's more like "will cause temporary blindness". ;)

They should also come with a 'will cause permanent poverty' warning too. $500?!!!:eek: I can get 3000 lumens for a whole lot less than than...and a longer run time.

Somehow I think that blinding oncoming drivers would be anti-productive...

No more over the top ideas like that! There will be no money left for Christmas this year! ;)

With a 55 minute run time, it would barely get me to work and back in the winter with reduced run times due to temperatures.

So over the top to be ridiculous :D

But hey, I sort of like ridiculous...

I'm sure they can be mod-o-fied to allow for longer run-times.

Sure, if I strapped a car battery to the frame :D

While I'm at it I may as well use a set of BMW HID Projectors too :)

I say strap that puppy to your helmet!
Then you will definitely see what ever you are trying to look at.
Gonna suck for the drivers at stop signs though :D

otherwise a decent lite ;)

55 mins? That wouldn't get me ANYwhere. Well, I guess I could go to the station and back.

Thats 55 minutes on the 3000mAH pack it comes with.
Just get a bigger one and wire it in like this one:

for triple the burn time.
I know one of you guys is crazy enough to do this...

Yeah but at what weight?

55 minutes ought to be enough for anybody. Ride faster!

"640K ought to be enough for anybody " :lol:



I don't know about your rides Slvoid, but ours go for about 3 hours :D

Probably not much more then that unit. It weighs 800g. One thing to factor in on the weight of my system would be my wallet...a whole lot heavier;)

It doesn't have a blinky mode, so cars will never see you.
