Well out of the box I like some of the features. The mounts are well designed, secure but not difficult to use. The lamp stays on the handlebars and the battery is secure with a double wrap around the neck with wide Velcro strap. There is a second mount for the helmet that mounts through the vent holes similar to the battery pack with a Velcro strap, again very snug with a double wrap. the lamp will move very easily from the handlebars to your helmet mount. There is a 3 foot extension Cord for the battery pack to put in in your backpack, pocket, water bladder or what ever. Off the top of my head I am thinking easy lighting for road repairs and put the battery in my back pocket, move the lamp to your helmet. Leave a mount on the helmet and the handlebars full time. The SOS feature is pretty cool too assuming somebody recognizes Morse Code. $215- was the price on the box, I will let you know how it holds up.

Thanks for the 'out of the box' info. I'll patiently wait for the critique. :) Of course, I'm especially interested in what it's like at night (beam pattern, throw etc.), but also, how attention grabbing it is in flash mode in the daytime. :)

I drove Tractor Trailer rigs for years & I can tell you running light during the day does increase your visibility considerably. Flashing lamps will certainly draw attention to you so you are noticed. Humans are carnivores with the eyes of a hunter, your eyes are designed to detect movement.

I started shopping lamps a couple of months ago and this was the one I liked best for what I was willing to spend. I did test several of them in a long dark room inside to get a feel for the difference in the models I was interested in. Dusk & Dawn are the most difficult times to be seen and that is when most of us moving around. I didn't want to skimp out on my lighting.

I kinda lost track of this thread so if someone has already mentioned this sorry. I used to run a Blackburn strobe and a nightRider on the front. I swear it seemed like people drove toward the strobe. They were on the opposite side of the road and I usually stay in the right tire track so I never had any close calls but it seems like more people strayed left of center. So I took off the strobe and I dont think I have seen an oncoming car left of center since. Hope I did not jinx myself.

Oh a second back light might be a good idea. Got to work the other day and noticed the back light was so dim noone could have seen it. Batteries burn out and when you first turn it on they are kinda bright, but dim quickly. I am still thinking over a second back light or just try to remember changing the batteries,

Even with the dynamo powered lights on my Superbe, I still use a PBSF battery-powered blinky...and I'll add either my Stella or P7 as a headlight come the dark days of fall-spring.

I know and agree about the daytime flashing lights. Right now I'm using 2 Bell 'i-pulse'.
They're more attention grabbing, than the 1 watt Blaze in superflash mode.
I really think that a 350 lumen flashing light is the way to go, though. :)

I did about 16 miles this morning. I did notice I extended a great deal of courtesy. I was offered the right away ate every intersection but then it could be that I am very cute, LOL maybe not. I did feel a positive reaction from the lighting up front.
