Has anyone tried it? comments?

Thank you in advanced.
Haven't tried it and can't take it seriously. The photograph in the article is an extended exposure taken with the bike on a stand - not moving. The exposure is so long and the ISO so high that although the streetlights in the background light things up like daylight - there 's still motion blur in the buildings and background lights.

That this is underpowered is confirmed in the specs: two 5 MILLIwatt lasers. Thats 2 x 5/1,000watt little lights that are supposed to be clearly visible to motorists? No thanks - I want several watts working for me. Currently I run 6 watts of rear lights pointed downwards and just paint the whole lane behind the bike red for a distance of about 20 feet. THAT no one can miss.
