No. The philosophy is 'kiss'. The lamps are on swivels so you can
point them down to 'dim' them, but 6 hrs burn time from a single

I understand that philosophy, and have used it myself on previous lights,
but it can be really annoying in racing. A lot of night races require the
marshals to read your number as you transition, and they don't like bright
lights in their face. A glove over the light sort of works, but costs you
control in what is often a slow and awkward area.

I wouldn't use these for racing, that's what HIDs are for.

The light I was thinking of was a 5W LED, which was a great secondary
light for racing since it'd run for ages off a smallish battery. The Ayups
sounds as though they'd be good enough for most enduros on their own, and
are probably quite likely to turn up as secondaries on a few HID equipped
riders (most night enduros requiring a 2nd "get home" light just in case).

Damn these things are bright. I guess I haven't experienced HID's
though, but these will be great for riding on the road I reckon.
