I might add that this a Garmin-initiated sale, so you can get the same price at a number of retailers.
The same product but with a built-in light is also on sale for $50 more.

For example, Buydig [buydig.com] has a pop-up* for $15 off $75 if you sign up for their emails.
(*be sure to allow pop-ups and open incognito if it doesn't initially show up)

I can't think of many/any situations where I would want to be notified of cars but not have a light flashing at them. It also changes the flash pattern slightly when a car is detected to help alert them of your presence.
In the like 1% of situations I want no flash, I can turn off flashing from my head unit but still get notifications, then turn flashing back on when desired.

I'm still rocking the original varia and won't ride without it.

I've read, but can't confirm, that the $150 lighted version has a larger battery than the little one in this deal. If so, it should yield a longer radar use time between charges.

I could see one use case for no light, and that is racing. If you've gotten away from the group and someone/a group is trying to catch you, you'll get notification of it, but there is no need for the light in that case since I don't need to give them indication.
It's not necessarily the brightest but how well it cast the light.
That blinking light is easily seen from quite a ways away.
Might not be as good as Bontragers Ions but much better than most.

Thanks for the info!
