I have no problem with people jumping on whatever bandwagon they want. However, I like people to be informed also. Let's face it, unless you are willing to pay $1100 for a Lupine Betty, no commercial system can even come close to my DIY system for output. Few DIY systems can get that kind of output. If the goal is to have as much light as possible to keep from getting squished and doing it for less than you pay for the bike, then halogen is still hard to beat. Can I think of one situation where less light is an advantage? Nope. Not a single one.

And let's face it, bicycle lighting isn't driving much of any kind of market. Lamp development is being aimed at other, more lucrative markets. We are a fringe. We just happen to benefit...occassionally...from other people's investment.
