Use the low 2 choices when there's lots of ambient light and only the super strong in the pitch, pitch black just because I can.
It's around $150.
+1. This light has completely dispelled my doubts about the viability of LEDs. Before I started using it, I was happy with a 15W halogen - Planet Bike Alias. The DualCross is so much brighter that the Alias beam is undetectable if they're both shined in the same direction. I've had several motorists stop me and comment on how bright the DualCross is. Mine has the "second generation" LEDs, and I understand that the current version has "third gen" that are even brighter.
