Any MTB people want to venture a guess as to how useful this light would be (600 lumens is way too much for on-road commuters).
interesting. I do think a 4D cell light might be awfully big & heavy to mount....

And as others have said, 600 lumens sure isn't "too much" for a bike light. Never heard anyone say that before!

I consider about 400 lumens "adequate"
