Was wondering why the flash mode is at reduced intensity. In bright daylight conditions it might be useful to have a very bright flashing mode. Also wasn't clear what reduced intensity steady modes will be available to give greater run times per charge.
We aren't totally dead set on exact values yet. Software is extremely easy to change right up to the first production run. So we'll experiment with a few settings.
As for the runtime duration for other settings, I've attached a chart that is in the Kickstarter campaign.
These numbers are my Electrical Engineers conservative numbers driven by an intense spreadsheet he has. Numbers should be taken +/- 10-15% given changes in outdoor temperature, speed riding (aka the cooling effect on the headlight) and more has some positive and negative changes for run time. However no matter what, will always be left with at least an hour of runtime on a low setting to get home.
And thanks on the congrats!
