Just before Christmas I was cycling home using a pair of lights I had bought off of Amazon from China and was stopped by the police as they had reports from MOP's complaining that my lights dazzled them. Alright, I had 2 lights on the handle bars which maybe was a stupid idea but part of my journey goes up unlit single track country roads and these lights lit up everything for a good 200 yards. They seized the lights and investigated them, finding that the magnification on the bulb and power of it was 1 million lumens and the beam was so powerful that when you put them together, they can bun through paper! I tried to contest it in court and was unsuccessful and fined £65.00 plus costs. Its pretty stupid considering you get fined for riding without lights so either way I would have been fined.
I bought some more to test if they can burn paper.

Do not buy these lights, they will end up being seized.
