I own the LD1000 and it's both bright and water resistant. A Superflash owner said his unit was not very water resistant, have you had any such issues with yours?
thanks
I haven't ridden it in very rainy conditions yet. Also I have full fenders.
There's a thread here from within the last week of a guy who put his SuperFlash through the wash in his jacket pocket. It was a bit damp inside but was still blinking; he just opened it up and it dried out fine.
I do wish that the SuperFlash had the waterproofing of the LD1000, but I think it's good enough that it's unlikely to stop working on a ride, and it's certainly more noticable.
I think both the blink pattern and the fact that it spreads the beam a bit more than the LD1000 are what makes it attractive to me. That single LED is really strong, and the blink pattern really demands attention.
I should probably mount both but I don't have the space. I've got a stupid, useless suspension seat post that limits how high I can go, and stuff on my rack that limits how low, so I only really get one blinky in the space available.
