Initial reports are claiming that the light is the brightest tail light they have ever seen. As with all Phillips lights they are first introduced in Europe before coming here to the US, so far their not found here, but the beauty of the internet does away with that hassle. But I'm going to wait till I see comparison shots because I was thinking about the Light And Motion Vis 180 but now I may wait. The new Phillips light is called the Lumiring. I also just learned that so far this Phillips does not have a flashing mode, it's either on or off, some cyclist don't like that idea, but cars don't flash, and this light mimics a car tail light, also flashing tends to confuse distance judgement of people seeing them from behind. So probably if I get one I will combine it with a flasher.
