Best daytime front light?

[mjr]

The same one that motorcyclists are trying to solve - myopic car drivers.

Can't be done with lights. Hope for good driving but prepare for the worst. Be ready with emergency turns, dismounts and other last ditch lifesavers

Anything powered by a dynamo.

I use my dyno lights on overcast days, no reason not to - and it might have prevented someone pulling out in front of me.

Wasting (very little) energy and making the place look uglier, as well as a false sense of security.

Can I interest you in some UK volcano repellant?

I ride the same way, light on or light off, so it brings me no sense of security, false or otherwise.

Doesn't work for bikers - won't work for cyclists [I speak from both camps]. Personally I like a good rear lamp - the idiots in front I can see, it's the ones behind I worry about.

That looks like it hits the spot, thanks for that.

I've never used a front light on a road bike (Except at night, obviously), but as I am a raw recruit to a recumbent trike I'd rather have that bit of extra security till at least I know how motorists react to one that is approaching.

Depends on what weather/lighting conditions you're planning to use it for.

The sun.

You don't need a light for that, a match solves the problem of the Sun
