Over 6.75 inches wide (172mm) and it goes on your handlebars? Sounds and looks like a bunch of flashlights mounted together but not giving a very useful beam pattern to see the road surface with. In strobe mode that light will be most annoying to anyone approaching it from in front. I'd pass on it too. Cheers |

I can't imagine mounting a piece of junk like that on my bars. But I think the OP's point was to be sarcastic, no? |

Remember, those are Chilumens, not lumens http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chilumen. How will the StVZO http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stvzo feel about these lights? |

The battery pack is too small and is not going to work. The lamp data sheet shows that the 8.4v battery pack is six 18650 cells, which are running at 1A output. So, how is this thing suppose to light up LED's that can use up to 3A with only 1 watt max? I don't see an LED driver/inverter anywhere. An 8.4v @1A battery pack will deliver 8.4 watts. Yet, the lights can conceivably use 6-10 watts *EACH* or more conservatively, about 3 watts *EACH* if running at 1A. Assuming 3 watts per lamp for a total of 21 watts, an 8.4 watt battery pack can run the lights to about 25% battery capacity remaining in 18 minutes. Sounds great for very short rides. I gotta get back to work, but this was too good to ignore.

The actual manufacturer information doesn't claim any of that stuff http://www.trustfire.net.cn/product/1723645844-219463416/2014_newest_TrustFire_factory_D013_high_power_led_ bike_light_3200Lm_7_CREE_XM_L_2_waterproof_led_bik e_light.html Those batteries are certainly able to deliver 4A. The big question is whether you can power them from a hub dynamo! |

But Frank should love it because the beam is not symmetrical. The question now apparent is this: Does Mr. Scharf know the definition of symmetrical? For a clue to the answer, examine the photo of the beam. Here it is: http://fasttechcdn.com/products/166/...02-2-thumb.jpg "Not symmetrical"? For those new to the discussion: It takes more than asymmetry to make a really good headlight beam. Start by looking at the beam from the headlight of a motorcycle or modern automobile.

But is there one floating out there with even more LEDs? |
