drivers and pedestrians on how bright my light is.
I am so glad someone has these; I actually contacted Costco about them, because they sounded really good, but I felt the listing left way too much out (size, etc...). These run on rechargable lithium batteries, right? But no charger included? Did you just buy (or have) a separate charger?

How's the battery life? Are they about the size of the three pack ones, or much bigger? Do you have the ability to compare them to, say, the 200 lumen lights that proliferate for about $30?

I'm thinking about taking the plunge on them, but $100 is a lot unless I'm sure they'll do the job, though I guess I could just do it, and return them if I'm not pleased :-/.
