Thanks.
Use it in pitch black on a road I didn't know, yes at slow speeds (10-12 mph). It gets washed out in the street lamp, but hey I got a street lamp lighting the area.

The beem is round, focused and white with a little scatter around the edges. The size of the beam on the road depends on where you aim it. Closer to the bike the smaller the spot. I got mine about 12-13 ft in front of me and it has a spot of about 2-3 ft wide. These are guesstimates. I'll take a closer look tonite and repost the results.

Nite Hawk as a website that gives you an idea of the size, here is the link:

All i can say is that it lights the area in front of you and that's all. I imagine the Halogen lights to the front and sides as well.
