I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with your light choice, gear. The Lupine looks like a good product. I'm just saying that you can do almost as well for less cash. No offense meant.
First of all; no offense taken. I have read many of you're posts and I respect you're knowledge.
I think we have both been bike commuting in the dark for sixteen plus years; so I wouldn't knock you either.
I did have the NR digital system and it does deserve the negative reputation. You're correct when you say simpler is better. I still have an issue with their connectors though. If you ever get a chance to see Lupine's by comparison you'll see why.
I think you'd change you're opinion of LED lights if you used a Wilma. My last light was a 25w halogen and it was bright as all get out. It had a bright spot and a less bright ring of light. The Wilma just bathes the whole road with this bright light. It makes choosing your path around obsticles easier as it doesn't just light up a spot it lights everything. And it's one super bright light.
