Thanks for the resurrection ... you are forgiven. For daylight riding, I have been considering the 300R/400 lights or if I could get one reasonably soon, a Design Shine. I have internal cable routing to keep a very clean look on my bike, so I would prefer not to have to mount a battery on the frame. The 300R seems as if it is bright enough, but if I could sort out a way for a clean battery mount, I would get the brightest light available. The OPs original beam shots are very helpful...
