Does anyone have a set of these? I saw a bike fitted with them last night and they're very impressive - especially from the side

IIRC they took an age to release them for sale and they look like quite a bit of faff compared to Magnic lights.

Aren't they almost completely different products?
Magnic are dynamo lights, which look like pretty standard lights when fitted (apart from sitting on the forks), whereas Revolights are battery powered lights that illuminate a white arc at the front of your front wheel and a red arc at the rear of your rear wheel.

I was tempted when they first appeared on Kickstarter, but they do look like a bit of a ball ache to fit and I guess once they are on you aren't gonna want to be taking them on and off/swapping between bikes etc.
