I have a 600L standard and it is plenty.
Good to know. I'll have to see what the light throw is like on the regular 600L and then decide what supplementation, if anything beyond the 200L helmet mount, might be needed.
I've got some screamer downhills on my morning commute (depending on the route I take), through pitch black sections of winding road with no shoulder. 40+ mph for over 2 miles, and that's
with me hitting the brakes to scrub some speed. No way I'd do that with my current headlight setup. I outrun my current headlight around 22mph, so I keep my route to the hills that have streetlights, bike lines and wide shoulders.
