I'm so happy USADA is spending thousands to bust people so old they might die before their doping ban is up.

I hope they've sorted out their project management issues which plagued the Burner production, then. Having said that, the Burner is mostly a lovely rear light, although the charger connection is almost entirely useless.

People who backed the product on Kickstarter will receive their lights before Christmas

LMAO, good luck to those customers, really, if it's even a little like Burner it will be spring at earliest.

If the light was £10 I still wouldn't have backed it based on atrocious Burner campaign roll out and delays - keeping very quiet about the dozens of issues issues until forced to reveal them, useless charging cable, spinning light and Burner Generation 1 vs Generation 2 magnet- mounts compatability issues. They also stopped supporting it (dropped hot potato) really in terms of accessories and helping with further issues. I have now modifed my burner so it actually does what they said it would do on the campaign. I feel sorry for their customer support team who did their best but suffered so much for their boss' continuous bad decisions for PR and product. 

With the rotation issue DIY fixed, the magnetic mount is really good.- so much better that SeeSense's crappy bands for Ace and similar.
