Smart Touch 700!

[the_mikey]

Anyone used the new Smart Touch 700 lumen bike lights? I can assume they're similar in terms of beam and brightness as the previous Smart BL185 (700 lumen) lights, but this time with a touch sensitive panel for controlling the brightness and mode. I have reservations about touch sensitive lights, especially in the rain, so I wonder if this light works any better or should they have stuck with a tried and trusted design?

If its anything like my Smart BL185 it will be bright but will dazzle oncoming traffic unless you turn it down to medium/low. Considering a Busch Müller Ixon IQ for this reason.

I have 2 of the original (not touch sensitive lights and think they are great. the price seems to hve gone up a bit but compared with other lights, it is still cheap. I use one on flash and one on steady and it works on cycle paths and on dark back lanes away from street lights. not sure about dazzle but you can always rotate them downwards!
