Potential bike lights bright enough to see what others had for breakfast

So someone has rigged up a 1,000 watt CREE light:

Could be really handy for the Dun Run.

I watched this earlier, nice and compact. Not sure the burn time is of any use!

Why?

 

[young Ed]

stupid and mad but pretty cool for a laugh i guess
only trouble is when you blind a helicopter pilot, i expect it would probably have similar effects to a laser? :/

Nice invention but if he used it on the road, I might have to shoot him.
I have enough of an issue with cars with those freaking ridiculously bright lights.

and don't even get me started on those that evidently haven't heard of the high/low beam switch! it's tempting to do this on a bike!

I have to admit to turning on the full beams a few times when I was still driving in revenge for the retinal damage caused.

Mind you, driving a sceicento, full beam was less bright than my £4.99 emergency bike lights...

If you really want to see what I had for breakfast, I could send it to you in the post!

Holy Cameron. Surely the pressure from the photons would push your bike backwards?

Pedal faster.

 

[roadrash]

it would need a rather large handlebar mount

Person blinded by bright lights, deliberately blinds person coming the other way so neither can see where they are going ... I'm not sure that is the wisest thing to do!

A quick flash perhaps, yes!

 

[fossyant]

Cool.

Almost as bright as my Solar Storm X40

I would certainly encourage more flashing on our roads.
