I got unsolicited praise and questions about the Nova from motorists. They said they liked how I was easy to notice from long distances.

These days, similar power is available from the DiNotte line and the Cygolite Hotshot, and NiteRider's Solas will probably be another good contender in the sub-$50 market. The Solas has the rippled beam-spreader optic like the Cherry Bomb, which should cover a wider arc than the Hotshot as long as it's aimed level.
