I used to commute on a motorcycle with a H4 halogen bulb, roughly 1100 to 1500 lumens at highway speeds. It would have been nice to have double that amount of light like the cars had with their two headlamps, but it was doable and safe.

When you are going bicycle speed, I do not understand why you need a strobe light that is 3500 lumens.

A few months ago I was riding my bike over a bridge on a bike trail, bridge was about 8 feet wide. Daytime but overcast so I did not have dark sunglasses on. And suddenly some E bike rider is crossing the bridge towards me with a super bright strobe light. I almost crashed into the wire fence on the side of the bridge because that strobe was so blinding.
