I been noticing a lot of cyclists doing this in unlit MUPs, they have their light pointed upword at my face. It isn't fun, I am not sure why anyone would do this. Maybe to show off their gadget? Maybe they are inconsiderate? Maybe they don't realize it? Perhaps they are really a ******bag and trolling other cyclists.
that's why I like Europe. in Germany, in an urban area, you'll get a ticket for pulling crap like the guys do here with their POS magicshine lights.
but good luck getting people to understand that lumens don't matter, lux matters and where the lux is located should be regulated just like it is with an auto headlight
also, FWIW, it's mandatory in Germany to have rotating headlights so that if you're towing something, that the headlights can be aimed down toward the ground such that you're not blinding oncoming drivers.
even my old 1994 Audi A4 has that device (which I never touch because it will break an cost me like €100000000 to fix.) and I never tow.
