Is that "best for the purpose" or "best at blistering the paint off oncoming vehicles"?Specialized Roubaix Elite 2015

If it commuting just get something to be seen with that flashes...
For this winter off reading I've just ordered 2 1600 Lumen flood lights... But even one of these would be way too much for commuting... ( MJ-872 )Always remember.... Wherever you go, there you are.

Why? Commutes vary massively.
My commute is slightly more civilised now, but used to take me out through unlit, fast country roads and unlit, twisty country lanes. Having loads of light means cars know you're there before they can see you round a corner, it also means that you can see the road you're riding on.

In terms of blinding people, I think my 3t6 torch is up there, a theoretical output of just under 3000 lumens
Probably more like 1600 in the real world, but its still bright 8)0 -

BY commuting, I mean a pootle along the roads.. hence the opposite to the other option I gave... Always one trying to be a smart ass...Always remember.... Wherever you go, there you are.
