Helmet FlashLights

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

A light that is so bright that you cannot see it?

That isn't what I said. No point carrying on until you find your reading glasses.

Or a light bright enough to see through the murk?

Cyclists have handlebars for lights

You have never ridden a recumbent trike them

I don't know why anyone would want to go out at night anyway. That would scare me shirtless.

Commuting during the winter you have no choice.

I love night riding across the new forest you see so much wild life

Try a Friday night group ride at night and tell me 60 bike lights twinkling under the night stars isn't simply beautiful,as you and your fellow riders make your way to the coast!

Hearing you two saying that does make it sound special.

I used to commute at silly o'clock to manufacture the Radiopharmaceuticals.

There used to be an old Brock Badger that would sit and watch us cross his territory

Or perhaps go for extreme oddness, and wear a groin-mounted light?

OMG It's the Second Coming!!!

Back to the basics again....

Surely the brightness of the light needed to see the road ahead should be the same for cars as bikes when travelling at similar speeds. Why do cars need such bright lights?

This thread, and the OP's objection, is about the dazzling effect of overly bright lights worn on the head/helmet, not bike lights correctly fitted to illuminate the road ahead.

But when is a bicycle light "over bright"?

If it is the same power as a car headlight then surely that is acceptable?

 

[glasgowcyclist]

It's acceptable provided it's correctly aligned to light up the road surface ahead, not the faces of other cyclists, drivers or pedestrians.
