Huh?...What would make you think ( or anyone else for that matter ) that this was suppose to be a "road worthy" lamp? Any time I see more than two emitters I automatically assume it's a lamp designed for mountain biking. Patience my friend, sooner or later some one will make something akin to the Ixon's with two emitters and external batteries.

In the mean time some of the other two emitter lamps work okay on the road. I use my Gloworm X2 on the road all the time and I have yet to see anyone run off the road because it was too bright. That said I do typically only use the lower output levels.
