This is clearly false. I ride long distances at night and happily descend mountains at high speed with my dyno lights. I can't imagine needing more light than a Luxos U puts out. Even my Supernova asymmetric lights do fine. The Luxos has a wider beam, so it makes curvy mountain descents easier because you don't have to worry what's off to the side. I think the only reason that I have wished I had a battery light was on a long climb when I was worn out. Actually, I was too worn out to turn on my battery backup.
Putting on my moderator hat, this discussion is way too bitter for the subject at hand. Please tone it down a little.
