    Having stumbled across this LED footlight I wonder what other night runners thoughts are on it?

    I imagine there would be too much movement, I'd be dizzy :p
    In good underfoot conditions just a headlamp for me and on trail a waist or hand torch - hand torch is handy to switch on when needed and highlight a turn or obstacle.

    It's almost like a spoof product. Surely by the nature of running the light will spend a relatively short amount of time pointing to where you actually want to run. It may be fine on pavements but useless on anything rougher.

    The people they have on the video demonstrating it have strides like penguins.

    And as BeepBeep said, it could be nauseating.
