Too bright?

So, I've happened into a Planet Bike Blaze 2 watt light.

I've always liked the flashing modes on lights because I think these stand out in traffic better and are likely to grab the attention of motorists more than a steady light. The 2 watt version an upgrade from my current PB 1/2 watt version but I was wondering if the flash mode is too bright.

One review I've read said to... stay away from the flash mode except during daylight hours; it’s far too intense to direct into the eyes of oncoming motorists at night.

Another review said... When using the SuperFlash function at dusk (it's been recommended by some that you do *not* use this function after dark, where it might be potentially blinding), on more than one occasion I've actually had motorists *pull over* to the side.

Some of us must have some experience with the PB 2 watt. I'm leaning to using the flashing mode in dark, but I just wondering, is the flash mode just too bright?
