thanks cycco
my sentiments exactly
400lumens is not very bright especially when competing against ambient light
motorists are more likely to avoid you and yield if you appear a road hazard
it is one thing to notice you
but another to notice you and worry that they may suffer injury, or damage to their vehicle
i don't want this to be an us and them type of thing, since I am a motorist myself
often times i focus with a ranking system when making turns and driving, mind you this system takes a split second, but will usually be: (since i usually have family in the car)
1) immediate hazards to me (includes family, secondary is vehicle)
2) immediate hazards to others
