Always thought paying +$150 for a light/radar was a bit outrageous but reading so much positive feedback on this, figured I'd try it out and now wished I bought it years ago.
This new version has been out for less than a year and I believe its the first time its been on sale. The previous version was on sale for $150 a few times, and has the same features as this one except this allows you to use your phone to monitor (old one required a garmin head unit). My radar only version also allows using the phone, which I initially started with but turned out it drains the phone battery in a few hours and I ride long so didn't work for me, and so purchased a head unit. One nice thing about the radar only version is you can put it inside your saddle bag or jersey pocket and still works. However the great thing about this light/radar combo is the closer the car is to you, the faster the light blinks, which hopefully makes the driver more aware.
Great unit. I have two 510's and love them.
