Yup, I agree. My wife also have the 1/2 watt version on her bike (it came in a set with a Super Flash) and it's plenty bright enough to be seen by in the strobe setting. The PB Blaze lights are small and easy to attach/remove and the bracket seems to hold them securely. They also seem quite durable as mine has survived the inevitable drops to the pavement. My 1W has a "high beam" setting which is passable for unlighted streets, but I wouldn't want to rely on it if the majority of my route was dark. I think PB nailed the city commuter's needs with their Blaze and Super Flash lights; at least in my city.
