I've noticed when I went out riding this morning at 5:30am, our days are starting to get shorter.

So I'm shopping for headlights since I will want to continue riding early mornings until snow starts falling this winter. I'm curious on what headlights you all may use. I wonder just how many lumen's are too much when riding in traffic? I don't want to blind oncoming traffic.

Part of my morning rides is on lighted roads, but am more curious on how well a 350ish lumen light will do on part of my rides on unlighted trails. Plus in the future, it's very possible I may end up moving to a not so lighted area of the state.

I'm thinking of getting the Cateye Volt 300. I've been reading that it may only state it has 300 lumens, but reviewers are saying it's more like 345 lumens.

Would this amount be bright enough to help keep on an eye out for deer populations on trails?

Thanks!
