I have two friends with the Triple Shots and I use twin 5 watt Luxeons and

The triple shots have a narrower and slightly brighter beam but I think my
luxeons produce more light overall. $300 sounds like a good price but I'd
still prefer my home-made lights. How many watts are the triple shots?

The triple shots are 3x3watt luxeons - supposedly as bright as a 20 watt
halogen. I thought there was supposed to be a problem with the 5w luxeons
and how long they last??

$300 or thereabouts is a lot of cash for a light but since I do so much
early riding I'm looking for feedback - I don't know anyone with one
personally so your feedback is appreciated.

I've been mountain bike riding regularly for the last two years or so
with my Twin 5 Watt Luxeons and they're still going strong. I average
about two night rides a week of about two to three hours duration. I
think they run a bit warmer than recommended but without any ill
effects. From experience I can say that talk of short life spans for
luxeons is either ignorance or scare mongering.
