A few weeks back I upgraded my lighting system with a Shimano hub generator, a Busch & Müller halogen headlight, and a Cateye TL-LD1000 taillight, the one with 10 LEDs. Last night I was cycling home just after midnight. As I came off the bike path and stopped at a red light, a police car pulled up alongside me. The officer told me that my lights were so bright that he thought there was a motor vehicle on the bike path! Nice to know that I'm getting some visibility in return for my investment. 

Is that the Lumotec headlight?
