Holding them in my hand for any length of time though while standing still is another story. They are for trail use, but I usually bring both lights whenever I go night riding. 9 out of every 10 rides I do I never come across another person on the trail or MUP as it is usually after midnight so it is not an issue. I always dim way down when I see someone coming though. As far as rear blinkies I have a couple superflashes that I usually turn off on MUP, MUTs just to save batteries.
Yeah I was just making some silly excuse to avoid palming my lights. My MG lights run really cool and so much cooler than my MS.
I do understand where the OP getting at. I haven't been on a trail or dirt trail in a while, but had been commented for bright blinking tail light out on the street. I mod my rack such that my tail light is higher than my seat at waist level. This lady takes the same train as I do and she's sometime right behind at the light when her husband drives her to the station. They like the light but noted it glares at them a lot when waiting behind me. I then tilted it down a little and they pulled up behind me in their white passenger sedan and all I saw was their white hood blinking with the reflection of my red tailight.
1000 lumen helmet light? Wow, I can use that at the dirt trail.
