1600 lumens!!>!!?!?!? FFS!! Is this for blind riders?? Anything more than 300 lumens will get a frame pump in your spokes, especially in flash mode. I will tackle you, rip it off your bike and throw it in a river!!!

Great for Tour Divide, not commuters. If I see 1800 lumens on a bike in the city, with whatever vision I have left after enduring your ridiculous light, I will pummel you into such a fine dust so you won't need a cremation!!!!

WTF? 1800 lumens? Seriously, people.

Well say that to the guy who gets hit by a driver who says, "I didn't see him!". 1800 Lumens sound about right to me.

My 250 Lumen NR is seriously bright when looking at it head-on, especially in flash mode. But I'd still like more illumination from my perspective on the bike, though - especially when it is wet and the illumination isn't as effective. I'm thinking of augmenting the bike-mounted light with a helmet-mounted one.

I know these things aren't linear, but I imagine that looking head-on into 1600+ lumens is blinding and potentially disorientating.

The only time anyone could possibly justify a 1600 Lumen light cannon would be a 24 hr MTB enduro
