Paul, I rode with Phil one morning to Cantor Fitzgerald.

Phil moved to Darien to work at a Cantor Fitzgerald office in Darien. More recently, he was transferred to Cantor Fitzgerald’s mid-town headquarters.

It’s great he’s doing it on a bike, by why does this guy live 40 miles from work?

Good grief – forget the miles – this guy has more jerseys than I do.

The light appears to be one of the high-end Dinotte models. It’s not from the Light and Motion Seca line–they have a battery pack that would need to be strapped to the stem (if you have a long stem) or top tube. It’s what I use, usually at 1/4 power when on paved trails so as not to totally blind the oncoming trail users. Full power pumps out 700 lumens that if improperly aimed will get lots of high beam flickers from oncoming motor traffic. It gets 3.5 hours to a full charge on the batteries, substantially longer at partial power or in blinky mode (useful for getting attention from motorists in full daylight).
