yeah i did spend £180 on lights, i did throw up a little when i bought it, but i see it more as an investment than a stupid purchase (unlike some things i have bought)
just worked out i've thrown away about £150 on lights during my time as a cyclist. won't go into details, but they all either fail in the wet due to poor seals, or lose battery life, or break.
these lights will go on and on, are waterproof, built like shit houses, will work off road, and are covered by a good warranty, plus hopefully drivers will see me = pays money, makes choice.
choose knog/other cheap light, choose getting hit by a car or hitting a pothole in the dark.
