It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The thing is pretty nice, the price, not so much. Also the lumen is pretty low, at 300lumen highest setting per lamp you still need a high lumen for riding in darkness if you plan to see anything ahead.

I'm guessing they're supposed to be in addition to a headlight...

I think they're neat, make 'em cheap enough, brighter, rotatable so bar geometry is irrelevant, and move the controls somewhere ergonomic, and you're heading towards a no-brainer. Although some 3d printer person might eat your lunch...
