Guess I must be missing something because those 'great bang for the buck' lines are going right over my head.

If those 'great bang for the buck' lights are so fantastic, how come they only come with a limited one year warranty? How come the battery is only warrantied for 180 days? Why have some resellers gone so far as to outsource other batteries for those lights so they could offer a 12 month limited warranty on the package? How come the price almost doubles as a result

Why exactly isn't a better built light head with the same LED emitter and that comes with a limited lifetime warranty and costs a bit more not 'more bang for the buck'?

Why isn't a light with a bicycle driving specific lens that puts ALL the light where you need it not 'more bang for the buck'?

Why exactly aren't batteries that have twice the run time and are also proudly matched, assembled and supported in the USA and backed by an industry-leading full 2-year warranty and 50% off damaged battery replacement program coverage not 'more bang for the buck'?


I didn't build my bikes with a dollar-store mentality and it doesn't make sense to me to apply it to lights either.
