That said though having 2 lights allows configuring how the light is projected. In deep dark I like to have the lights one on top of the other to shine way ahead and the road. I lower it when someone comes towards me; I found out how blinding they can be! In city light I project them low in front of me (~4m) but spread laterally.

I only use the flashing mode in daylight, which is when I commute right now. In the dark I would use the steady setting. I ride on some pretty busy roads and can use all I can to get noticed!
