Having set out to provide high value solutions Schmidt probably has
an idea about that. Coming with a 5y warranty you look at 2EUR per
month, a cappuccino is about 2.50EUR here, YMMV.

Expensive? Yes. Value for the money? Yes. Same market as
Schmidt's hub dynamo, the Rohloff, Brooks, frames made to measure...

Compare it to a brand pair of jeans, good shoes, not to talk about a
full tank of gas (65l are about 90EUR here).

Perhaps, but how big is the market for headlamps costing 120 Euros?

~55 Euros for the B & M Lumotec IQ Fly.... at least if my conversion is correct and price current.... still a lot of money for a light.... but it is a very high quality product with Schmidt coming confirming this market is still vialble.

My local Lowe's now has a bunch of them in stock, after not having any
for months. I think they get snapped up very quickly as soon as they
arrive at the store.
