Who cares about a shaped beam when you're running batteries? What's the point? I like the shaped beamed LED headlamps for their efficiency when powered from a dyno. If I was running a battery, I'd buy a magicshine 1400 and light up the ride. If you read the German headlight reviews, the German standards are left over from Nazi Germeny (~1930) and haven't been updated since. They're not happy they can't run a nice bright light like the Dutch are allowed.
