When I started getting numerous comments from pedestrians on the power of my bike lights, I started thinking about my bike light's effects on other road users. Today, I've toned them down by running the headlights on medium, which extended battery run time, and adding refraction lenses. I've even shelved my DiNotte 400 taillight, replacing it with lower power MS taillight. I'm still seen by motorists, but without overpowering their visual senses.
