The light beam itself is more noticeable from the side.
Wow, that's a really good video. The guy rides fast! Scary! But he knows what he's doing, and the camera probably makes it look riskier than it is.
I have the dynamo version of the Saferide. I seem to get a lot of respect out there. A lot of pedestrians jaywalk and walk in the bike lanes here. When they seem me aim straight for them with my headlight on, they get out of my way. Maybe my maniacal look contributes to that.
