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? |

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

But is there one floating out there with even more LEDs? Maybe a home brew light - you can get 5W GU10 units with 24 LEDs alleged to equal a 40W halogen. The 24 LEDs are in series, so you'd need an inverter to boost a convenient battery supply to somewhere in the general direction of 100V. |

See http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-5000-Lumen-2x-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Bike-Bicycle-Light-Headlamp-Flashlight/1492257169.html Talk about Lumenflation! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lumenflation But Frank should love it because the beam is not symmetrical. 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? |

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.
