Simply turning the power down isn't enough to overcome a shoot O lens. If it's bright enough to light the road, it's going to dazzle oncoming people. If you tilt the lamp down enough keep the top of the beam below the horizontal, then it's going to be too bright too close to your wheel and that's even if it'll stay steady and not slip further forwards.Yeah too bright for road use if on full beam but they have a button which allows you to adjust the brightness (3 settings I think) on the lowest setting its fine for roads I think (and battery will last longer) probably only would last an hour on full power beam which is great for pitch black country lanes (but should adjust setting if someone oncoming a bit like full beam when driving).
I dont think my Cateye Volt 300 was that (£50)Hi,
My neice is after some lights for her country lane commute. The lughrs are to see with rather than to be seen. Her budget is around £50, is this doable?
What are the current deals atm?
I see there are 400, 700 and 800 now and the 400 looks a bargain for just over your original budget.I dont think my Cateye Volt 300 was that (£50)

I've take a spare battery if I think my ride is more than 3h at the max out put, I've never needed it though.
