I'm a little stunned that I ended up buying the light... this is the LAST dime getting spent this year
I got a cygolite dual cross, and then when the price dropped from 379 to 349 (add in the extra 20% off and 10% back) I just sort of impulse purchased the ARC. Yow.
Not sure whether I'll keep the cygolite to use on the commuter and the L&M for more pitch black rides on the road bike, but I feel like I've lost my mind a bit.
The cygolite is great, but with the streetlights and the contrast there are spots where things don't stand out as much as I'd like. Oddly, I think the dual cross would almost be better in full darkness where it isn't competing with all the other light sources.
We'll see...
