Gen3 LED headlight

Sorry about the crosspost, but there were threads in regards the Performance Viewpoint Gen3 light in both wreck.bicycles. tech and misc -- I got one at the Perf website (I do a lot of business with this company), and I'm very happy with the light. It's as bright as a 10W halogen as claimed, but it's -- umm -- different, sort of eerie, but it lights up the road very well. The beam is very directional (I can read the year minted on a quarter at 40 meters) so much that at first you don't think it's gonna light up anything else, but when you ride down a very dark street the spread is nice. I recommend it. --Mark Thanks for the review. I was wondering how these lights stack up, since the "10-watt" claim seemed pretty iffy. Most LED's have a higher color temperature - shifted toward the violet end of the spectrum, is that the "eerie" feel? Incidentally, it's ten bucks cheaper if you buy it straight from Night Hawk. -Collin |

I really like my Cateye Opticube. I bought it for a temporary, until I
could transfer my http://www.nite-hawk.com $45 lights 96 volt 5 watt 4 hours. Ilike the Cateye so much, I have not bothered using the nite hawk from my other bicycle. The first set of batteries leaked, but had quite a few hours on them. Mark Stone wrote: Collin wrote in message igy.com... Thanks for the review.

I thought of going straight to Night Hawk but couldn't find them on the 'net-- but the $60 price tag at Performancebike seemed reasonable enuff. Besides, I've done business with Performance for 11 or 12 years, and I feel uncomfortable using a company on the internet for the first time. --Mark |
