I rode the ROMA 400K this past weekend and with a start time of 7:00
a.m. we were assured lots of night time riding.  I recieved my E3 on
Thursday and didn't really have an opportunity to try it out until it
got dark Sat. night during the brevet.  As promised, the light is
great.  Having used an Oval Plus/E6 setup now for awhile I much prefer
the light output of the E3 and the overall shape of the pattern on the
ground.  I can now see off the shoulder a little bit as well as onto
the road.  Something the sharp edges of the E6 weren't able to do.  I
also like the brighter white color of the light as opposed to the
yellowish hue of the halogen.  The E3 is plenty bright on it's own
without a secondary and I like the fact that I won't be replacing this
bulb any time soon.  This weekend I spent a few hours on the backroads
of West Virginia riding alone in the dark and this light was a welcome
companion.  Anyone else get their hands on one of these lights yet?
