Not impressed, don't do it.
I am a big fan of Exposure lights but I have to disagree with you about the Max D which is essentially an off road light for which it suits admirably. Any front light that has a circular beam, unless it is a spot which is useless on the road anyway, is by definition designed to scatter light in all directions. The Exposure Strada has a lenseconstructed to throw a beam exactly like that of a car headlight, it also has a full beam which when switched on is not unlike the Max D.
What I find amazing is how people get sucked in to believing that the more lumens a light has, the better it will perform, I know you will understand this analogy, it is like saying vehicles with big engines go faster.
Sorry TF but what tosh. Either you can't afford a Max D or you are a tight wad. Have you actually ever owned a Max D light? I have no experience of the Strada, all I know it is cheaper and less powerful = inferior. The Max D has an excellent beam, it does not spread light in all directions and means you can ride at night at speed and actually see everything in your path. It has a very large central beam and then one each side like a dipped car head light. It is awesome. I occasionally ride along side others and chat to other cyclists riding the GBW in the dark who have cheaper (but not really that cheap) and less powerful lights and their lights are woeful in comparison and they always comment that they can't believe how bright it is and how much more they can see when I am riding alongside them. What is there not to like? Go figure.

That max D is more than my bike cost!!!
Oh my Lord, It would be cheaper to get taxis to work

bought a Fibre Flair tail light this weekend.

original reason was that my previous Knogg got flooded.. or kept getting flooded. intention was to buy a good waterproof light.
but then eventually fell for how cool the Fibre Flair looked.. only hope its decently water proof.. without mudguards!!
