Hi,
Wondered if anyone else uses one of these lights: https://www.fawkes-cycles.co.uk/2472503 ... ilver.aspx
It's powerful considering it's price, but the beam shape really doesnt work for road riding. Unless I tilt it really far down even on the lowest setting it tends to dazzle oncoming cars as I've had driving beeping and flashing their lights at me in protest. The problem with tilting it so far down is its only lighting the road right in front of my wheel, so if I'm going any faster then 12/13mph I can't really see well enough down the road.
I thought about trying to add a piece of plastic/tape to create some kind of visor/peak above the lens to try and focus the light down on the road more.
Do any other owners of this light experience the same issues of dazzling drivers?, and if so is there any solution.

I use one of these. Well an earlier version. Works really well.
Never had the beeping either.
