Personally, in city arterial traffic, I think lots of output really does help. Here, spot the cyclist:
Yeah yeah, trick question, there isn't one. However, as I was getting set up to shoot that video, a cyclist
did come towards me with something along the lines of a 1-watt Planet Bike headlight. I still didn't notice him until he was quite close. And that's MY route home, I ride in his shoes daily as I gun for the center turn lane. If he'd been packing something like a Magicshine or better, I think I would've noticed him.
