That's just the thing I'm worried about. One of the things I don't like about the available beam shots is that when people post photos done on light colored surfaces, this makes the lamp seem brighter than it really is. That said I'm not sure I would be pleased with the output of a dynamo ( Cyo premium ) lamp when used on the typical dark asphalt road surfaces that I usually ride on. Sadly the only way I'm going to know for sure is to buy one and hope for the best.
