I'm riding in the city, so the need for seeing is less than the need to be seen... I won't say I wasn't tempted, but I think I'm going to see how this light works, and if it's not enough I can just return and upgrade. It seems like the more that I look at the stuff, the more reasonable the price starts to seem. I try and look away before I just click away, buying stuff in a stupor/trance
The added runtime was also significant, four hours with the option for quite a bit more, is a big plus for me. As a final difference, I need this for short-hop errands as well as starting to commute this week, so the bulb life with all those on-off cycles seemed problematic for HID.
The OP mentioned a number of LED options, and I just wanted to interject with a different option that would come in at less cost than the Dinotte, and might give a better result... of course, YMMV.
