I think the beam on the Lezyne 1000 light could be better shaped as there's a LOT od upward and sideways spill that's not really needed. Like I said upthread, t he sideways spill is so great that I could see reflectors on gates that were a number of feet off the road. I'd have rather had a beam that put more light a bit further down the road.
I guess it's hard to make a light with a long but road & road shoulder width beam that doesn't have a lot of upwards and sideways spill.
I wonder how the Lezyne 500 or 550 lights with SvTZO beams will compare to this 1000 light? I might just buy one to see.
