I may try to move the hot spot out a bit next ride and see how cars react with the light pointing a bit higher. Avg. speed was around 15 mph but got into the mid 20s a few times and I was not outrunning the light. The light was very floody, almost too much so for me, but I could see as far as I needed.
I did run it on high the whole time and I do not think it dazzled any cars, as I did not get flashed, brighted, etc by any of the cars that approached me or overtook me.
Road a heavily treed stretch of road that usually requires me to reduce speed due to darkness, and I did not ever find myself wanting to slow down due to lack of light/vision.
Thanks for that

I still am not sure whether it is worth me getting both the spot and the flood versions of the 2*18650 lights to cover all bases. I want the 2 battery versions for extra run time

but may just go for the 1 battery version but get 2 batteries.
Glad you like the light. I assume you are reviewing this without a hood on the light - i.e. as the light comes.
Thanks again
