Yes, it is a really strong light, and instead of a spotlight effect, it is more of a floodlight effect, which is good in my book.
I have one myself, and I have gotten great comments about it, but what I like the most is that cars can actually see me properly and behave accordingly, not driving too close to me. I have it pointed ever-so-slightly downwards so as not to blind motorists (they sit so low in their cars).
