Not withstanding design & build quality etc, the price of that Lupine
Betty is f*cking ridiculous. £775 for a set of bike lights FFS.

Almost as ridiculous as paying £3600 to upgrade your car headlights.

In ,
Adam Lea tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us:

Am I correct in assuming that the Lupine Betty is designed for pitch

cyclist, even one that commutes on unlit country lanes.


Indeed. Popular with the 24-hour MTB racing crowd.
