If it's as good as advertised, in keeping with Dinotte expectations, this may become the new standard for no-compromise tail lights. I don't see a compelling reason to replace my 300R, my primary light. But this would be the one I'd recommend first for committed recreational cyclists who can afford this and still pay the rent.
The improvements over the 300R I want more than lighter and smaller is:
- more light to the sides
- integrated, standards-compliant reflector
- very low, steady setting for night group rides
The low mode is 25%, which I take to mean 1/4 of the full 200 lumens. Fifty lumens on low is brighter than the high setting of many (most?) small lights and is brighter than I want to run in an evening/night group ride. That's what I use during a daytime group ride.
