Wow I can't believe it! Ordered the lights from Amazon on Sunday and they're already here today, even with the free standard shipping!

Initial thoughts: omg WHOA this Expilion 700 is BRIGHT!!! Even the lowest setting is brighter than my old light. Can't wait to get out there on some night rides. I guess I should probably pick up a spare battery, and will also get a second mount so I can use the same light on both of my bikes. And yes, I'm VERY impressed with the mount. Seems extremely sturdy, much more so than what came with my old light.

Also got the Cygolight Hotshot rear light in the same order. Also much, much brighter than the other 3 tail lights I already have. Impressive choice of flash modes, also. I actually brought my road bike to work today and was afraid I would have to ride during lunch with no lights (transferred my other lights to other bikes already). But since these came in this morning I've already got them mounted on the bike and ready to go. Will also be testing the night performance this Saturday night during the local monthly "social" bike ride.
