Is anyone using the new Gen3 lights from Performance?

I was wondering how bright they really are as I have yet to see a
single LED light that was very bright and these claim to provide
more than 10 watts of light from a single LED. TIA.

I was considering one of these, also. The price is OK but it sure seems like
less hassle than my VistaLite. I'd like to hear from an owner, too.

How about white LED headlights of any brand or model on bikes?

For example Planet Bike has a single LED light using a Luxeon 1w led--is
it good enough under any circumstance at all?

I use a Niterider HID for commuting on over roads ranging from well
lighted urban streets to narrow un-lighted "country' roads. In late
Spring and early Fall the Niterider is overkill/overweight.

So the long burn times of the LED units are attractive, and work well
for being seen, but how about to see by.
