PDW Danger Zone vs PDW Radbot-1000

Side by side comparison of the PDW Danger Zone & PDW Radbot-1000 http://www.ridepdw.com/goods/lights/danger-zone%E2%84%A2 http://www.ridepdw.com/goods/lights/radbot%E2%84%A2-1000 The Danger Zone use 2x ½W LEDs. The Radbot-1000 uses a single 1W LED and includes a built-in reflector. Both lights are powered by 2x AAA batteries. With both lights on "steady" they both produce what appears to be the same amount of light. The differences are the flashing patterns, buttons, construction and other subjective features. Both lights use the same mount/clip as the (ubiquitous) Planet Bike SuperFlash. This makes it very convenient to swap lights among multiple bikes. The mounts/clips are high quality. Seatpost and seatstay mounts included. The Radbot-1000 also includes a mount (and hardware!) for attaching to a rear rack. The Danger Zone has two LEDs look particularly impressive at close distances, but the "wig-wag" effect diminishes with distance. Beyond a certain distance it looks like single LED light. I wonder... are these types of lights more visible or conspicuous to other road users? Or just more attention getting on the shelf at the bike shop? The Danger Zone has three modes: * "zZz" - Slow blink * "a-HA!" - Alternates between slow and fast blinking patterns * "rock steady" - steady on The Radbot-1000 has three modes: * "zZz" - Slow blink * "cornea blitz" - fast blink * "rock steady" - steady on Both lights have a "clicky" switch with nice tactile feedback, but the Radbot-1000 seems like it would be easier to operate with gloves. The Danger Zone has a button that rotates through the modes (and off) when the button is pressed. Turning the light on/off requires going through the modes. There is no "delay" for turning the light on or off; if your lights turn themselves on in your bag this may be a concern. The Radbot-1000 requires the button to be held for two seconds to switch on or off. When the light is on the button rotates through the modes. When the light is switched on, it remembers the mode that was last used. I'm not sure which light is more likely to turn itself on in a bag... The Radbot-1000's button is easier to press but needs to be held for two seconds; The Danger Zone's button is harder to press but immediately turns the light on. Battery access on the Danger Zone is via tabs that can be pried with fingers; no coins! Battery access on the Radbot-1000 requires a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Both lights seem like they'd hold together in a fall. These are both good lights with nearly identical light output from any given angle: Both have good beams where they're aimed and not much output towards the sides. The reflector on the Radbot-1000 is nice in areas where such things are enforced. Otherwise, these are both great lights. Apologies for the vertical streaking in the video. It's the camera.
