I often ride at night with my Romulus on roads and not racing, just riding. The video shows what looks to me like a dangerously low light level as far as I am concerned. For regular riding, I would want a lot more light. For example, what if a deer jumps out in front of you? Are you gonna see it with that light? My setup includes a very heavy (approx. 5 lbs.) lead acid battery, which most riders would not want to use but I get alot of light for at least one hour. Again, I'm not racing and I'm on fat, low pressured tires so I'm going slow on purpose (avoiding wind chill) yet enjoying a decent workout. Not having enough light to really see where one is going is a recipe for disaster. Just being able to see the outline of potholes with a weak light and hopefully the help of a full moon doesn't cut it for me.

The light looks super bright now. I have mine adjusted so the far edge of the beam is just about disappearing. Those long brevet nights won't seem nearly as bad with this light. --Eric Norris Sent from my iPhone 3G On Dec 10, 2008, at 7:00 PM, JoelMatthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > They are great little lights, aren't they? > > I was a little skeptical going to LED from halogen.
