I bought it after having three different incidents where people did dangerous things clearly because they didn't see me, even though I had a 50 lumen flasher running up front. I'm putting the Bull up there because it's a compromise. If I still get people pulling out to pass while heading for me, pulling out of intersections, etc with the Bull, I'll switch to a pair of 500 lumen lights set in "holy dammit what the hell is that" strobe mode. I can keep dialing it up until they see me.
I don't even know what the Nova Bull is, I found an old archived thread on here from 06 mentioning it (everyone seemed super excited about it) but all the links were dead. Just thinking about it however, LED technology has improved greatly since then and is continuing to improve exponentially, so if it's at least 7 years old, it's probably outdated.
I just wish there was a really bright, high power led light out there - specifically a blinker for flashing/strobe/warning purposes - that was easily fitted on a bike or made for bikes.
