I wouldn't call the MagicShine a fancy high dollar brand of a light, but currently it's the best bang for the buck in lumen output in non DIY situations. Just curious, how many lumens do you expect that your 30 dollar setup will produce? I ride amongst urban traffic, and my current 1400 to 1500 lumen setup is having the results to my liking in getting motorists' attention in dark and low light conditions.
