Hey I like your lights.
Where did you get that HID lamp from? Is this a plastic reflector? Does the P7 with the big aspheric lens throw anywhere near as far as the HID?
I got mine from kadikater, works really well. I think he still has some left. I'm sure he is prepeared to explain how they work, because I can't. 1 LED from 1 to 7km/h, 2 LEDs 7-15km/h, 4 LEDs (or 3 LEDs) faster than 15 km/h.

Just follow the river rhine, it's very nice to cycle along. I've done it once the other way round -down to the Netherlands - takes a few days though ...
Re: Philips Saferide demo + discussion day 19 January: Preliminary information
I'm looking forward to your pictures and description. If you write it in German all better for me ... ;) ... and if you want to buy proper Müesli you have to come here next time ... ;)
I replaced my Bosch+Müller Lumotec Lyt with the self build. I have the Fly on a other bicycle. A round reflector or TIR-optic can't do what half a cat-eye reflector or a big, fat aspheric lense do!
I wanted to buy the Philips Saferide (dynamo version), but then found someone that made that...
I copied mfj197 and must say that gives the best beam pattern I have seen from a simple reflector! Just go ahead and try it out!
An aspheric lens is quite good as well!
I built a street light myself - probably even bigger than the german light. But it has the benefit of yellow sidelight and light going back to the moving knees (well visible from further away). I think there is still too much light going up though ...
Hello swhs
I would really like to see
1. a 18650-battery version of the light (with the possibility of replacing the cells).
2. It should use the most powerful LEDs -I presume Philips won't use Cree LEDs?
3. Most important: They should sell the reflector - so we could build a light with all...
