I ride in NYC, so trail or fast night road riding are not a concern. My big concern was that my Cateye Opticube 1W wouldn't be enough once we "fall back" an hour and I'm riding home at twilight. With the extra 15W I feel much better, at least cars will have no excuse for not seeing that in their rearview mirrors.
