The WZ10? Well I guess the extra power can't hurt.

How do you like the light? I know that the WZ will have better side illumination but how does it compare with some of those straight-on strobe lights?

I just saw a Cree light today.. it looked insanely bright on strobe head-on but diminished quickly along the side.

as a "be-seen light", it's unbeatable. as a "see light", it's pretty much useless.
i've got it paired with a $30 DX flashlight, so i can see, and be seen. it's a great combination.

the WZ-10 is on pretty much anytime the bike is moving. the flashlight is on at night, and sometimes during bad weather.
