In case anyone out there is listening (Planet Bike, maybe?) what I'd love to see on product labels and in reviews of bike lights is how many lumens they produce on full charge. Knowing the wattage doesn't help much because reflectors or the lack thereof inside the light housing can increase/decrease the brightness. And I've never been in a bike shop that let me turn off all the store lights just so I could see how bright a given light is in the dark conditions in which I would actually use it. Lightbulb manufacturers list lumens, why not bike light manufacturers?
Just a thought.
