I'm still amazed at the stuff you lighting guys find out there. I'm STILL dazzling fellow runners and cyclists with my Fenix here in LA, and I'm already behind the curve!

True story: Was ride-commuting home on a busy LA street at night last week, and saw someone with LED lights galore on his fluoro-yellow jacket. He was a fellow commuter, complete with 3 front CatEye headlights, 4 (!) rear blinkies, a 360 degree LED blinking vest that looked like a Xmas tree, and lighting on his head. The saddest thing though, is that my simple PB Superflash outshone all his rear lights easily and his strongest frontlight was probably 35 lumens MAX. I briefly pulled up aside, and turned on my Fenix (I had it off briefly on a stretch) and he goes "HOLY CRAP! WHAT LIGHT IS THAT!" as I promptly drowned out all his other lights in my flood.

If I get a P7, he's going to be jealous...
