I don't see how these lights can really be that irritating to drivers during daylight.

I use the Olight M22 for a bike light.

I use the strobe function at dusk, and that's over 900 lumens flashing. I've actually gotten compliments on it. One was from a driver coming toward me. We were in a residential neighborhood and it was a construction zone with room enough for only one car to get through. She told me I was a great light and that she as able to see me from "way back" due to m light. She also thanked me.

The other time was when I stopped at a red light and a pedestrian was waiting on the curb. She said she could see me from far off, and said it was a nice light. She also said she especially liked it because she was a biker, then asked me where I got it.

bot of these incidents happened right around a half hour before the Sun went down. The pedestrian was in full Sun while the driver was in partial shade.

Several weeks ago I stopped while on an afternoon ride because I wanted to see how bright it was during the day. I was stopped in a shady spot,so I turned on the strobe and paced off about 20 feet and looked right into it. It didn't sear my retina.
