No. The philosophy is 'kiss'. The lamps are on swivels so you can point them down to 'dim' them, but 6 hrs burn time from a single charge, why bother to dim them? I can understand that reasoning. The on switch is 'plug it in', if you want to know how simple it is 🙂
I understand that philosophy, and have used it myself on previous lights, but it can be really annoying in racing. A lot of night races require the marshals to read your number as you transition, and they don't like bright lights in their face. A glove over the light sort of works, but costs you control in what is often a slow and awkward area.
I wouldn't use these for racing, that's what HIDs are for.

The light I was thinking of was a 5W LED, which was a great secondary light for racing since it'd run for ages off a smallish battery. The Ayups sounds as though they'd be good enough for most enduros on their own, and are probably quite likely to turn up as secondaries on a few HID equipped riders (most night enduros requiring a 2nd "get home" light just in case).
