I would agree that one of the drawbacks of the ever improving light output and "the race" to get the brightest and longest-lasting light, is that more than ever before I notice people that have their lights blind me. That is either because they simply have too many lumens or because they aim it too high (are they trying to light up the sky?)

But then again, I bought a twosome of Fenix L2D Q5 flashlights. With 380 lumens, I am probably 'above average' in my light output

I guess what I am saying is that if you have a bright light, make sure you aim it at the right spot, and that is the road in front of you, not straight ahead, or the sky above.
