I'm not going to sit here and spew out crap to a person who has never owned one thus has no clue about how the Philips looks on the road compared to most, not all, headlights. If this aimed optic thing is as bad as you say it is then why are more and more bike light manufactures slowly embracing aimed optics instead of the standard round flashlight type of beam? Almost all dynamo powered headlights have moved in this direction because the efficiency of the light is superior over the round beam, it's the same reason cars and motorcycles use aimed optics and not round flashlight beam pattern.

So I'm done hashing this out with a person as ignorant as you are in regards to lights. Go on and post whatever you want, I won't be entertaining you on this subject any further.
