So obscure and unavailable it's sold online, and as for old, has the nature of light changed since 2003? Or it could meet an equivalent standard such as the German one, or they could disable steady mode and only need to meet the weaker "two Ronnies" requirements of the 2005 amendment. But yes, that's what it means and it doesn't seem anyone cares much for now, but it's part of why there are so many what-lights threads IMO.
Indeed light has not changed since 2003, but emitters and batteries have. Rather a lot. Also, the bizarre 4candela flasher clause is hardly evidence of a well thought through standard.
But whatever, I can think of (and experience) situations ( TT rides on busy roads, fog, alternating sun and deep share) where my "insufficient" Tracer or Scorpion work substantially better than any Stvzo compliant light, and damn few where they are worse.
