February 12, 20224 yr I wouldn't be surprised if my new "1800LM" light alerted him to the approaching majesticness of my bike, He's probably more like a moth, and drawn by the bright light straight into your path.
February 12, 20224 yr Author He's probably more like a moth, and drawn by the bright light straight into your path. I should install a system to deploy snack countermeasures, to distract hypnotised stoned pedestrians? My cheapo camera underexposes at night. To my eye and memory, this £20 light's brightness looks more like the edited frames below, perhaps a little dimmer. I'm still giddily happy about this 20W "1800LM" light, unless it fizzles out in the rain or something. Two of these might be overkill, but not in all situations (offroad), hence my musings about an additional switch. Maybe I can fit a waterproof inline/inwire switch, if I could find one, because there's no more room on the handlebars. Edited February 12, 20224 yr by I893469365902345609348566
April 18, 20224 yr Author If this were a 'spot the ball' sort of thing, I'd say the guy was just going to step into the kerb to pass behind the peds, and surely he'd have seen the very bright pool of light on the road surface to warn him of the approaching bike? I'm still very pleased indeed with this bright "1800 LM" 20W LED Motodafish bike light. Because my camera sets video too dim, due to the brightness metering of the centre, I've manually increased exposure by two stops, to better represent the way my eyes see brightness (maybe a stop less exposure woud be more accurate, I'm unsure... human eyes see higher dynamic range). It shows up potholes very well. A second 20W light might be overkill... I have no more room on the handlebar anyway. Edited April 18, 20224 yr by I893469365902345609348566
