700, 1000 and 1400 lumen flash modes. How to annoy the feck out of the International Space Station. The steady beams have only been increased to 650, 950 and 1350 lumens, respectively. Maybe increased run time would have been better.

"This is invaluable in so many unthinkable ways." I can think of several ways in which insurance might be useful. How do you know "so many of the ways" are 'invaluable'? -- if you can't think them, you can't count them.

It looks like SKS are trying to reinvent the (handlebar mount) wheel. You have to go a long way to beat Quad Lock for smartphone bar mounting. I've been using one for 13 years without failure (or theft). It's a much sleeker, more secure solution than this SKS monster and I recommend it to the house. P.S. I am not an Aussie, have any Aussie friends or relatives and have zero connection with Quad Lock other than as a satisfied customer..
