Has anyone here ever used an Occulus headlight?

If so, what are your impressions of it?

Is there something better in the same price range?

Thanks and cheers

I remember Barry from the days when CPF was a busy place. I'm not sure if he was a good engineer, but his marketing and public relations skills definitely needed some work!

Has anyone seen one of his lights in use? I'm still wondering if anyone has made a set of measurements to compare it to some of the commercial competitors (and apologies if it is contained in the mtbr forum... I didn't get through it all).

Thanks for those links.

Reading through the one on the mtbr/lights forum was hard but very rewarding as far as deciding whether or not to get an Occulus light. Definitely NOT worth potential problems and aggravations.

Cheers
