B & M have been using a Cree XR-E 7090 for a while now and have a
nicely packaged product for use with DynoHubs.

Perhaps, but how big is the market for headlamps costing 120 Euros?

Peter, where are the strobes located on the traffic lights and what
purpose do they serve? Are you saying that the lights strobe green
or red, etc.? Weird. -- Jay Beattie.

The one I'm thinking about right now is inside the lens of the red
light of an overhead light. When the light is red, the white strobe
in the center of the lens flashes.

Ooh, that is something I have never seen. I'd wonder if that's some
kind of malfunction. Is that the only one of these in your area?

I was curious enough to seek out the original article, because I wanted

Having set out to provide high value solutions Schmidt probably has
an idea about that. Coming with a 5y warranty you look at 2EUR per
month, a cappuccino is about 2.50EUR here, YMMV.

Expensive? Yes. Value for the money? Yes. Same market as
Schmidt's hub dynamo, the Rohloff, Brooks, frames made to measure...

Compare it to a brand pair of jeans, good shoes, not to talk about a
full tank of gas (65l are about 90EUR here).

~55 Euros for the B & M Lumotec IQ Fly.... at least if my conversion
is correct and price current.... still a lot of money for a light....
but it is a very high quality product with Schmidt coming confirming
this market is still vialble.

Alas, not sure it's still available.

I bought a half-dozen for gifts last week at a Lowe's in the
Philadelphia area. Hopefully it wasn't the last of them.

My local Lowe's now has a bunch of them in stock, after not having any
for months. I think they get snapped up very quickly as soon as they
arrive at the store.
