Not only that, but your posts in this forum also look more legible somehow! As if the letters are darker...

OMG! ...what lights are you using? ...more importantly, what tires are you using to deal with the molten asphalt?

Cyclaholic, As most people who are looking for a light I don't care if it's puting out 1200 lm or 300 lm. I just want to be able to see. As Far as that goes + the price I'm happy with this light. As we all know the box print is always a lie to get you to buy it.
But if the battery is going to lite the bag on fire, then I have a problem with that. I can see me trying to go faster to put out the fire LOL. I'll check it tonight.

Other than that, I was I addressing the numbers you quoted in your post because I've done some bench testing of some XR-E based lights and figured others could use the info, that's all.

Ok last night I temp the Battery at 102 deg f. the battery bag was 84 deg f. so not to bad. It was 54 deg F temp last night. So I have to check it again when it gets hoter out side.

Magicshine replaced my old batteries and they work much better now. I use the 900 on my helmet, and the 1400 and 1600 on the bars, with an old L&M Arc Li-ion. I can see ahead in the dark at 45 mph. I power down for bike paths and oncoming traffic on the level at 20 mph. Once in a while an oncoming driver will flash me, thinking I have the high beams on. Then I max everything out and illuminate the exterior and interior of the car. Surprises the hell out of them.
I also use the array during the day. No one pulls out in front of me any more.
