I wish people who make videos for comparison would film from a quarter mile away to see how it works where it really counts...seeing a bright light on video doesn't prove much because of the camera automatic settings. If it were video taped a long way off, you could see how much brighter one light is over another.

And the addition of a reflector is superb. Nice! It’s nice to have a good, bright battery powered option to go to other than the SuperFlash. And the addition of a reflector is superb.

A great combo (for to be seen) would be this tail light and Planet Bike's new Blaze 2 watt flashing headlight.
