My MTE P7 certainly dazzles on-coming riders and walkers. A rider shouted a complaint to me the other morning. Still, it's not dazzling anyone just now due to (1) the end of daylight saving and (2) my Trustfire charger burning out after 3 months. They tend to do this I gather from the comments on DX. Apparently there are fake Trustfire chargers around, odd as that seems.

I get the impression the burnout issue tends to happen in 220-240 volt countries such as Australia. I took it apart to see what I could see and I noticed a couple of components rated at 125 volts, even though sticker is for 110-240 volts. This item would probably not certification for sale in Australia -- it could be a fire hazard.
