The light itself, if you get a working one, is superior to almost all of their other products and is about the ONLY E.T.D. product that might be suitable for use. I've got one in R/B that I purchased several years ago before I knew any better. It has lenses that "focus" the light output, and they are indeed pretty bright. A LOT better than their OKTAG stick, for instance, which I also purchased before knowing better.
The problem with my ET-7 light was that it wouldn't change patterns when it arrived from the factory. I tried for two weeks to get someone to answer the phone, and when that wasn't successful I bit the bullet and took the light apart myself. Turned out that during assembly, the trigger wire from the pattern switch got stripped so when I pushed the button to change patterns, it shorted out and didn't change anything. I applied electrical tape to the bare spot and the patterns changed just fine after that. The light continues to work and is still bright, a little over two years later (but not on my cruiser). When I finally got someone to answer the phone and bitched about it, "Chris" told me that since I fixed it myself rather than sending it back for warranty work I could have 20% off on my next order. I never bothered to place another order.
This is just one example of the shoddy quality that goes into their products. The OKTAG stick is a POS and not very bright at all. The idea of the built in TD light in the ET-7 is cool, but it doesn't really put out sufficient light to illuminate anything sufficiently.
Bottom line: you'd be a lot better off (and save money) buying a two-section bar from Microman, especially now that he's using 3W LEDs.
ETA: Yeah, I wrote "sufficient light to illuminate sufficiently" - I'm a posting retard sometimes.
