I remember looking at that light when I was considering one for mountain biking, and how odd/annoying it was that they left off an on/off switch. Seemed like a nice mtn biking light otherwise. Not sure if it would work well on the road - mtn bike lights tend to be designed to put light where you don't need it. Not just the cutoff, but you have more trouble getting the throw down the road you need.

I would include many of the battery lights I've used in that as well, but otherwise I agree. I'd really like to see more lights with color temp / light output.

I'm not personally trying to talk you into a dynamo. Certainly a dynamo is never going to put out as much like as a 800 lumen light with nice color output.

I do hope we'll see dynamo lights with better color output this year though...
