I like
I have that modified Dry 2500 lumens 3 x XML on my helmet that strobe big time. Probably need more than pepper spray. Guarantee to piss off any drivers.
OP, what kind of lights you have setup on your bike? I find that too little of a light and car easily identify me as a cyclist and don't think they have the need to dim down. Too bright of a light and I find those who running on low beam will flick their high beam at me. Somewhere around 600 to 1500 lumens is where I seem to have cars thinking I'm a motorcycle and they turn their headlight down if they were running their highs and yet not have any courtesy warning from those feeling that they are blinded. Then again that's just my area in the city and most likely will differ than if it was on the highway or your area.
