looks nice. 400 lumens is definitely enough for most situations too. any idea on price?

. . . 600 for $110 and it has 600 lumens. It's not going to win any cosmetics awards, but it's brighter than all get out. This thing is pretty, but I'd be surprised if it's cheaper than that.

I've recently picked up a Cygo Expilon 350 and a Lezyne Super Drive 400. I think the Cygo is a better light overall, design wise, a little pricier though. Now they have a 500 as well.

Last year I used a NiteRider Minewt 150 and it was adequate...but...I'm in the city with all the accompanying light pollution so it might not be bright enough for exurban riding.

Actually it's not horrible @ $135. If you're going for a hand built look across the board, it might be perfect.

I got my lights at wholesale, but I think the street prices are around $100.

Web site says $135.00.

Am I the only one that thinks that that form factor would be super annoying to mount?

$135 with mounting hardware and choice of lenses.

Not too bad for such a good looking light. Once I see some positive reviews, I'll likely grab one.

Interesting but there are lots of better bike lights and flashlights available for the same amount of cash or less.

Yeah, like the Monkey Lectric wheel lights! (http://www.monkeylectric.com/).

Maybe the Wolf Pack Hustle guys will put 'em on their fixies this year.

What about their tail light mounted on the helmet - looks like it would get car driver's attention - anyone tried them?

How have these not caught on more!? Granted hip things lag a bit in reaching Cincinnati Ohio, but seriously, is there a more unique way to illuminate the bicycle!?

The light looks great but that mount kind of negates the sleekness of the design. They need to design a mount as minimalist as the light.
