Correction. Some people are able to capture a beamshot that's more accurate.
For example, I have a B&M Eyc.
This is peterawfulwhitecycle's overexposed beamshot.
This is a way more accurate beamshot of how it looks in real life and how I see the light.
The german poster who took that shot also posted a beamshot of the cyo premium, way different than how peterwhitecycle decides to present the beamshots. This is why I do not take peterwhitecycle seriously, nor do I take people who uses his beamshots seriously, cause that's just not how the beams of those lights look in real life.

I've had great successes with flashlights as bike lights, starting out with P7 leds and Cree MCE before retiring flashlights in favour of dynamo lighting. Super inexpensive, very difficult to break, no wires, and you can take it with you and use it as a flashlight. My flashlights are for household use and everyday carry.
The only one I still use is a red Cree XP-G flashlight as a tailllight from time to time, 90 lumens of bright red light.
