Did about 10 miles today, half of that in pitch black (I did have one front light and one back light, but it doesn't seem to be enough...), took it really slowly (30 minutes for first 5 miles, then 30 minutes after a couple of hours back) as whenever cars shone their lights I went to being temporarily blind. Was carrying about 15kg extra weight, bulky too, so I think I did well. Speed is the last thing you think about in those kind of conditions...

I might just get another one or two catseye lights for the front. Have them set on flashing and the other on all the time. They'll know I'm there...

It's scary , when driving I have seen cyclists with pathetic front lights that did not even slightly add to their visibility

when I use the T6 I don't suffer as much and one of the reasons is most drivers dim their lights when approaching me, not to mention the effectiveness of the light itself.
