Did I mention I also got one more thrower on my helmet along with the lights on my handlebar

Truth is that I run them on Med setting most of the time. Having the two Thrower mounted lower on the Drops help shine the road better without blinding oncoming traffic with spillage from the beam. I do use Hi mode when I ride in the rain. There is something about water on top of the blacktop on the road that eats up lumen along with the droplets of rain that cuts out the brightness. Another thing I noted about having extra light is that I get less Right Hooks from car after passing me. Their interior is lit up after they pass me from my lights (mostly from my helmet light) and I think some driver thought there was a car on their right when they don't expect that much light from a bicycle.
