Smart Lunar R2 mode choice

[Norm]

A small point, the law is that that lights can flash at up to a maximum of 4 times a second. Some of these lights don't comply.

I'd be surprised if anyone would get done though.

And, at the other end, I think that the flash should be at least 1hz but the pulse mode must take 6-8 seconds to flash.

Thank you very much for all the comments and input and I reckon initially I was overpowered with the choice and options, I had been thinking ooohhh disco and pulse (others call it 'throb' and bloody good description that is) but now that I have been out and using it I also checked the feedback here and went with 3. Flashing! A few have commented about disco and possibly legal about flash rate - and again the options are tempting but all I want is to be noticed and I think it's 3. for me.
I do reckon we live in an age where there's so much choice available - we're concrete consumer machines like it or not but jeeeyz, everythign does get complicated at times. I like simple and effective, robust and effective. function over asthetics etc. but great lights - the choice is always good but sometimes I'm a luddite and stick to what I know.
Thanks again!

and with a 1 watt smart on constant on the commuter.

Sounds like a good plan. What's the battery life like in the 1 watt on constant?

The Lunar R1 (1w type LED) only seems to last about 10 hours on constant with a set of 2 NiMH 1100mAh AAAs. (Suggesting it's being run at no more than 300mW input).

The disco mode is bloody annoying, please don't use it.

Im not sure which modes to use or where yet. I have 2 of them low down seat stays angled very slightly down so they arent so blindingly bright up close but still very good at range, paired with a cateye L1100.

Sometimes ill have them both on double static with the cateye flashing, sometimes the inverse. For quieter roads/lesuire routes ill sometimes just put them on single and turn the cateye off. Im not a fan of disco as i cant help thinking one mode must always be more appropriate to the situation than random flickering/pulsing. Only time it tempts me is as a random daytime mode to get attention.
