The SouthWest Times did an article on 30th December 2010 for the World’s Brightest Bike Light.
For more details and photos: 

There are also two professional videos in HD with overlays, interviews etc available through Barcroft Pacific Media covering the Worlds most powerful bike lights and Xmas tree as well as the Worlds most powerful flashlight. The Bike and Xmas tree were covered by GWN regional TV on December 23rd 2010. Video here Channel 7 covered this nationally in Australia on December 24th 2010.

 This news photo (left and center) is one of the only “photo shopped” images on my site. It was presumably done by the paper to remove the lens flare over my trouser area and to tighten the beam. Did I tell you I didn’t like photoshop? The right photo is not retouched (apart from being flipped for comparison) and is one I took at a different time which looks very different. Two points. Firstly there is no “beam” in the real unretouched photo. A beam arises from the light through the air which is currently is dry, smog free and clear. Even a laser of medium power would be hard pressed to show a beam from the side, let alone a beam arising from outside the light source as on the left. So what is the bright haze? It is partly lens flare (with lens flare copy diametrically opposite over back wheel) plus the effect of light scattering from dust particles (largely diffraction) at low incident angle. The scattering should diminish evenly around a point source ie is typically circular. So which is the better photo of the front array lights? You judge.
