I can tell you have some sort of agenda against the Philips Saferide light for some reason you're not willing to say, and if you don't then I forgive your ignorance because I can tell you've never used the light. I have a Cygolite Mitycross, not a bad light, but the spread of the Philips is about 3 times that of the Cygolite, and I can see the edge of the road including any animals and or people far better then I can with the Cygolite, in fact the beam spreads across the lane I'm riding on and across the next lane! The Cygolite is just a round spot that doesn't even cover the lane I'm in. You are completely 100% incorrect, and here's the proof:
First picture is the Philips Saferide:

Here is the equivalent Cygolite in Lumens, actually the Cygolite has more lumens:
Cygolite Expilion 350 - Mtbr.com
Here is a 750 lumen Cygolite which is 3 times more lumens than the Philips:
Cygolite TridenX 750 - Mtbr.com
And just to really shove the point home, here is a 975 lumen Diablo:

And to really make even worse here is a 1400 lumen JetLites Dual:

With the Philips I can see the edge of the road much better than with most lights on the market and the above photos prove it.
