I remember when flashing LED lights first came out in the UK, late '80s IIRC, a couple of people got pulled for having them flashing and road safety campaigners were up in arms - our local Chief Constable went on the record as saying that he thought they were a great idea and advised his officers to be very lenient regarding them. I think, although I could be making this up, that he offered to pay any outstanding fines out of his own pocket - but like I say, not 100% sure on that.

The Revolights look good, but my concern is one that stems from my own current set of lights - they have a disc set back from the front lens to aid side visibility, but this shines right in my face - I've had to mask over the top side! All I could see was the light and not the road, not great for the country roads on my route home.

Further to the other lights, also being a car driver, I've been faced with a ultra bright bike light blinding my vision. Whilst being a cyclist I'd like them.
