There is no way they are anywhere near what has been posted in this thread. The spread is similar but the brightness not so.
Also, if the shot is overexposed, that would cause any light in the sky to be 'amplified' and therefore creating the false colour we see in the pic.

If my google translate skills are correct the picture used is an 8 second exposure
Google translate skills a little out......Camera settings were as follows: ISO200 f2.8 1 second exposure. Tried to get as close as possible to the 'real thing'.
I bet none of them selling product out of their boot at the bike parks (dirty dawg) are giving nothing back to the industry
I do not sell lights out of the boot of my car. I use a website and TradeMe. I may however make some deliveries whilst I happen to be at the bike park for a ride.
In addition, people who are just getting into or thinking about taking up night riding may think twice about spending $200 plus on a set of riding lights. By supplying an economical option for $150-$160 I am making regular night riding a realty for some rider, therefore increasing the number of riders night riding in Auckland, around NZ and in Australia. I would say this is not only contributing to cycling as a sport but also the industry (more people using bike park, more riding therefore more need servicing and other parts etc). I admit not a huge contribution, but a contribution none the less.
Kel, I do however think you are doing the right thing by sponsoring athletes and giving to charity. It lifts the profile of your brand and gives back. Well done. (not sarcastic).
