I do not want over powered lights, I just want parity or equality with the other road users. Please, do not tell me cars and trucks need 50 to 100 watts of lights because they are going much faster, in most night traffic here I am as fast as they are. Federal and state headlight standards call for light levels and beam patterns for good reasons. If there was not such a weight penalty I expect many of you would want lights like mine. I just use a head-light designed for night off-road racing or small aircraft landing lights.
