"1000 lumen … light"
I'm 100% all in on riding during the day with lights. BUT. If you are using a 1000 lumen light, it doesn't need to be in my eyes as I'm riding toward you. Turn it down toward the ground about 10 yards in front of you bike. That means it won't blind me, but will get you seen. Win/win. (I noticed a few weeks ago on the SCT that many of the riders--all in professional riding gear--had extremely bright lights aimed right at my eyes. F-ing rude, gentlemen. [And they were all, every one, men.])
