How long until we see MTB lights using this technology?

Apparently laser lights are much more powerful than LEDs and the colour can be manipulated so that there human eye doesn't have to work as hard.

When LEDs came in the step up in performance was huge, would this be the "Next Big Thing"? (apart from PF386.5 BBs obviously ๐Ÿ˜† )

I'd be interested in knowing the power and therefor battery requirements though.

Is it just me that finds LED lights incredibly annoying? I'm sure they're wonderful if fitted to your car but my retinas certainly feel it when I have one sat up my arse on a motorway.

Do they reeeeeaaaally need to be that bright? It's the A1, not that Bolivian death road.

Nope. Everyone I look at whilst wearing my headtorch also finds them annoying ๐Ÿ™‚

Ha, I'm equally guilty of that offence.
