We're going to be distributing these in the UK. Price should be about £85 a unit, but with a bit of an introductory offer.......
The units are exceptionally well made devices. I doubt anyone will disagree once they have actually handled them. They're really solid feeling and given one of their popular uses stateside (on jetskis!) i doubt they'll have the reliability issues some HID units have. The cases are a solid cast aluminium, with 'unbreakable' polycarbonate lenses (i will test this with a hammer before we actually go to press.....)
Light output is really good for an extremely unobtrusive unit and they come with quality mounting hardware.
In general i think some folk will be surprised.
We feel the best application will be for more trail oriented bikes that all have pathetic headlights and low output stators. One of these units alone will make night riding far more enjoyable. Add one as a helmet light (this is the configuration ive been testing on my dirtbike) and you really can trail ride happily at night! Most bog standard trailbikes will happily power this setup. Two bike lights plus a helmet, well you really are going to have fun now! The good thing is they're modular so you can build up your system.
The lights come with a joining block that links two together, should you want to double up and 'hang' them for a narrow tall stack
We're also getting battery packs, plus bar and helmet mount kits so they can double up as a 900 lumen mountain bike light that runs 4 hours (just tested it twice, about an hour and a half recharge) all for £200.
As mentioned above i think a HID conversion for the headlights is a good way to go, but certainly for anything with a smaller powerstation than a GS, its a far less fussy way to go.
We'll have them at the dirt bike show!
