+1 I got one of these but smashed it on a forum ride to Cambridge - it fell off as I was going over a cattle grid and then got run over by a car :/ Bought a new one the next day because it's ridiculously bright for under 15 quid.
I was waiting at a traffic light the other day with it switched on and a car pulled up behind me. I was turning left so I looked back to make eye contact with the driver and signal what I was doing and he was sitting in his car shielding his eyes from it with an expression of utter rage on his face. Ho Ho. (I turned the bike slightly to one side so it wasn't directly in his line of sight).
