All I could do was thank her for verifying how effective they were for me.
(She wasn't being nasty. She s very nice. She was just surprised as how far away she would see the lights)
Maybe she was politely suggesting they might actually be too bright. That's my opinion of many models, bright enough to be counter productive in many instances. Analogous to riding into the sun. Not necessarily a total white out but enough to be painfully distracting, and just asinine on MUPs.
