Dangit, Sherman. You had me thinking that such a wonderful light
could be had for $50 or so. I was planning Christmas gifts. Then at
the bottom of the page I see that this light is almost $1000.

Yeah, but imagine how much fun you could have ripping down the North
Branch Trail with that thing.

You could ask your bank for a loan.

The $3 for the North American outlet adapter is the killer.

If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the precipitate.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Even with normal lights, it's
easy to blind a jogger or walker who's not lit up at all. I thought
the road mode would help with that.

I don't know. I 'only' have the Ixon IQ SPeed, and I've accidentally
blinded peds at the Huntley outlets (the hand raised to the eyes was
a pretty good hint to drop to 'low' mode). I fear the Big Bang,
therefore, would be more akin to this:
