I could care less about the outer-space names and looks, but they claim to have excellent side visibility. Which could very well be true because there are all these optics/prisms on the lenses and they use 6 and 7 LED's respectively (which you don't see that often). I'm guessing these are re-branded from some Asian manufacturer or designed specially for them. The one in the middle costs $14.99 at Performance.

Anyone have any experience with these lights?
I bought the second one as a backup for my cateye. it has yellow side faing blinkies. so it is close to the cateye. the bad part is it uses AAA's. but it is nice and bright and cheap. I had the plastic loop holder through some PVC on my rear rack as it is made to only attach to a seat post. I fell over and it broke. so now it is ziptyed in place.
Plus you have to remove screws to put batteries in real small screws.
