I don't ever want to be laying in an ambulance (or worse, a grave) thinking "Maybe I shouldn't have crippled my light by pointing it at the ground" -- that's why I run my 600L on full strobe mode during the day and full steady mode at night whenever I'm riding on roads around motor vehicles. Same thing for my 140R taillight -- full strobe mode pointing straight back, day and night, whenever I'm on the road.
