You only need something that will help others pick you out from the background.

I'm not saying don't use lights during the day. I'm just against some of the lights that put out more than is necessary to be seen. If you only are on a open road in bright sun and no shade then a 1000 lumens might be fine. But on a MUP with dense foliage limiting the sun in some spots, being hit square on by a 1000 lumens isn't fun in close quarters.
plus one for this. ^^

- ok you get the point. If you want to convince me to run a head light on a bright sunny day....... STOP THE STROBING!
Otherwise I'm just gong to do the opposite of what you say. Whatever it is. You'll be able to get all my money by telling me not to give you my money. I really can't stand the strobing.
- Yes, a sore spot. I really can't stand it and don't understand it. So just stop it.
I dread the day I read the news that a strobing cyclist helped a motorist learn they have epilepsy because the strobing head light of a cyclist gave the motorist a seizure

OK. Rant done. Thanks for bringing this up. Remember, you brought it up. I just went off the rails.
Cheers. Cioa. Have a nice day.
STOP THE STROBING
