I have a video of my lights coming at the camera. I haven't posted it but while the lights are bright, they don't appear to be overly bright in the video. I don't adjust the lamps to be that high...about 30 feet in front of the bike or about 2 car lengths...because I've found them to be rather inefficient if the lamps are aimed too high. I really want to see what is in front of me
