Do they come with any warnings about "may cause temporary blindness"?

I can get 3000 lumens for a whole lot less than than...and a longer run time.

With a 55 minute run time, it would barely get me to work and back in the winter with reduced run times due to temperatures.
So over the top to be ridiculous
But hey, I sort of like ridiculous...

Sure, if I strapped a car battery to the frame
While I'm at it I may as well use a set of BMW HID Projectors too

I say strap that puppy to your helmet!

Gonna suck for the drivers at stop signs though

55 mins? That wouldn't get me ANYwhere. Well, I guess I could go to the station and back.

Thats 55 minutes on the 3000mAH pack it comes with.
Just get a bigger one and wire it in like this one:
https://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=3645
for triple the burn time.
I know one of you guys is crazy enough to do this...

Probably not much more then that unit. It weighs 800g. One thing to factor in on the weight of my system would be my wallet...a whole lot heavier
