Bikefix have published a review of the Australian manufactured Ay Up LED bike lights. 'The first thing that one notices is that these are some tiny little lights. Check out the pictures (right). Each lamp contains one LED in an anodized aluminum enclosure about the length of an egg, but skinnier. They're about the same volume as my wireless Cateye computer (see picture) and are paired in lightsets which weigh at an amazing 58g. Throw in a minimalist helmet or handlebar mount and 3 hour battery (enough for two 16 mile laps) and you're up to 150g- probably no more than your stem. As an industrial designer, I was impressed by the functionality of all of the components. Calling them minimalist would be misleading, as nothing seemed to be missing or compromised.'
