Notice how close the light is to the beam shown? Notice the nice hot spot on that beam? 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 wouldn't have to turn it on to reject it. 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?

Yes, I forgot the sarcasm header...

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

Maybe with a bat signal?

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.

3200 lumens is pretty lame. See

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?

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:

"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. Then try reading
