  1. Anyone used this set up ?

    Sure it isn't going to be as prefessional as the Viscious lights

    http://viciouspower.com/ViciousArc.htm

    but there is a considerable saving to be had.... and hell, I am big into
    reclying, the ballast is an impulse deodrant can 🙂

  2. I got probs with the first link.

    I use a Vision Stick 10wt, helmet mounted with the battery in the jersey pocket. Suits me OK for the weekly night racing down at Westgate (Melb), but I only need 1 hr running time for that.

    That Visiouspower set up looks fab. But there must be a downside - $$$?

    Oh yeah. Dave (the owner) makes lovely toys, but he's at the premium end
    of the market. I'd love a Vicious light, but can't justify the premium
    over my Trailtech cheapies.

    For anything road [1] I think a 3W LED is fine. 10-20W of halogen is more
    than enough to ride off road. For comfort in long offroad night rides,
    more light is better. You can also go faster. That's where HID comes into
    its own.

    [1] Other than 100km/h+ downhill races.

    It seems the link does not like Safari but works OK with Firefox.
    Could that be your problem?
