Too much light can be a weapon. Shining too much light into the face of a nighttime driver is dangerous for EVERYONE on the road then, and for quite a while after the encounter. Do YOU want a temporarily blinded driver comming up behind YOU?
Please stop parroting the same disinformation in every thread that someone asks about LED lights. Not only is it wrong, it's also a great disservice to people looking for info.
BTW, have you actually ever used a high powered LED light? I use two, and they are pointed at the ROAD, not windscreens of oncoming cars.
EDIT: I just saw in another thread that you have the high powered MAgicShine LED, yet here (and in other threads) you are warning against high powered LED lights. WTF, are you here just to argue?
