Yeah - I agree that most people don't need the level of waterproofing I went for, and in case you thought otherwise - I was actually serious in my suggestion to buy half a dozen of those. As long as you are aware of the limitations - its really your call.

As per the seller, buying multiple units will save you shipping fees. It'll also get you spares or back-ups, and is probably the most cost effective way to buy extra battery packs. And of course in the event that you end up with a dud, you'll still have several units that are operational while you return the other.


I can understand that people want to fork out as little as possible for a functional lighting system, but didn't get the impression that you were so strapped for cash that you'd have to mortgage your house and sign over your kids just to make a purchase of a couple hundred dollars by buying more than just two.


Its also very possible that there'll be something newer and better out on two years. More likely next year. But there's a limit to how many lumens is actually a practical limit for any on-road cycling use and you'll already be there so it really won't matter.
