Anyway, to get back on topic, today I looked at a few light sets that an apathetic salesman described as "the ones most people buy for day riding." None of these were in my price range and none of them looked anywhere near as bright as the ones I am seeing on the road lately. The rear blinkies, in particular, didn't impress me at all.

So should I assume that all the really bright light sets I see on the road during the daytime are $75-100? That's crazy to me.
