Anyone here tried one? It would be interesting to hear how it compared to the lights from the large manufacturers.

As a matter of fact yes....I've been riding with an Oculus light for a couple weeks. I bought one based on the LA Times article and so far it lives up to all the claims. Crazy bright. Excellent beam spread for the 40 feet or so in front of the bike and while it's not obvious to me that the beam is split the down-range light illuminates road markes, signs, etc quite well. I run it on level 3, which is plenty bright and get 4 12-14 mile night rides between charges.
I've only used cheapie AA light in past so I can't speak to how it compares to a $300 light but it's lived up to its billing for me. It comes with a second, smaller battery which I haven't even charged. It is $150 with a $10 shipping charge.
