I think you're kidding yourself. As per information posted against the original article:

"The front LEDs currently emit 50 Lumens which is not enough to act as a headlight."
In my experience, anything less than 300 lumens is only suitable for walking with. Any higher speed needs 300 to 1,000 lumens depending on the activity and other available lighting.
