Yes - yet another bicycle-lighting "discovery" that is made through actual night riding experience. This is another thread that supports the idea that having enough "light" has little to do with being able to see where you are going.

I was happy to be able see where I was going using a couple Magic Shine lights. But I was lot safer when I added a Solar Force M8 torch for no other reason but to "get attention" when I think I need it. Better to be a geek than a statistic.....
