The thing that sucks about it is that it puts out a car headlight level of light, but doesn't have a shaped beam with a cutoff light a car headlight does.
Gee, now we're going into the stratosphere with light prices at around $600, yup, I going to get a one tomorrow...NOT!!!
Why would anyone need that much light to travel at no more then 32 mph? And I bet the average speed on this forum is probably 16 to 17 mph and for that you need a 3,000 lumen light? I have more then enough light with 480 lumens and most of the time I run it at around 300 unless on a very dark road then I bump it to 480. 3000 lumen light would be great to have if one could ride their bike at 80 mph!!
This is just purely absurd.
