Have you tested this? I think a beam with a cutoff does not reduce your visibility. I usually use a shaped beam with a cutoff, and I get compliments on the clarity. I think I get this because it surprises people how they can see me from a distance without the light shining in their eyes. The beam is just under their eyes, and that probably contributes to the good job it does.

Exactly. Imagine if cars didn't have cut-off beams.

Interesting. You might be correct. You're running dyno lights, right? I guess I just haven't come across many rechargeable headlights that have a cutoff beam. Any ideas?

Well, in my defense, I did mention that I don't run it anywhere near the brightest setting.

Doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be superbright to be blinding if it's aimed at someone.

Edit: Go to:
Bike-components.de/en
Bike-discount.de /en
Bike24.com

.. and take a look at their battery lights. Pick "STVZO" or "approved for Germany" and you will see loads of cut-off lights (and tail lights).

You're right that there are very few rechargeable lights with cutoff beams. I believe they are plentiful in the European market but not in the UK, US, or Canada.

I have several bikes, some with dynamo lights (all with cutoff beams) and some with battery lights. Through a recommendation here on bikeforums, I found the Xanes SFL-01 light which is made in China and has a cutoff beam. It works extremely well and is very inexpensive. But it's cheaply made and of un-uniform quality. I've bought several units because they're so cheap, so that compensates for the inconsistent quality. Right now they are $8 on banggood, and the price varies a lot. It is sometimes available on Amazon for a slightly higher price. I do recommend the light, all things considered. Run time is long, and beam quality is excellent. I have no idea how many lumens it really puts out, but it's enough for me.

Buy two or three since delivery time is slow and you might like a spare.

No problem. For specific lights, I recommend BUMM (bumm.de) and their Ixon Core or Ixon Space, and Trelock (trelock.de) and their LS760. They both have other models, obviously, so your preference for mounts will matter too.

So, basically, because you (at least claim to) haven't had anyone flicking their lights at you, then your unshaped beam placed on your frigging helmet can't possibly be blinding other traffic. Okay, then.

Do you look when a car comes? Do you look both sides when you go through an intersection? Do you look to see when someone overtakes you or you overtake someone?

Let me know if you're still confused after reading that again and we'll try to get you the help that you need.

p.s. you get extra dbag points for insinuating that I'm somehow lying about my experience "because you (at least claim to)"
1) I know you say you tilt your head away. But I just don't believe that you do when you overtake, look before you cross an intersection and so on. Unless you have eyes where your ears are.
2) No, it's still nothing but a claim from you. And just because you haven't noticed you're blinding others, doesn't mean you're not doing it. Let me repeat: How can you both look away and look if there is traffic coming in, say, an intersection. Things just doesn't add up.

Again: Just because you haven't noticed anyone flashing you doesn't mean you don't blind them. There are also other cyclists out there and even pedestrians.
I don't need to "try" to know you can't both turn your head to look at something while simultaneously turn your head away to not blind them.

I am not only talking about intersecting lanes, but actual intersections. But say there is an intersecting lane on your left with traffic on the road you are on (including traffic coming at you). It doesn't matter you keep repeating that I should mouth the claims you make. You can't both say you look away, while turning your head to look. And when confronted with that, you say you don't turn your head all the way.

So an intersecting lane on your left, you looking up it, and suddenly your helmet light is aimed directly at people coming in the opposite lane of people on the road you are on - and the rear view mirrors of people in your lane.

But, yeah, you "look away" and don't blind people.

It doesn't matter how many times you repeat that I need to mouth what you say. Repetition and echoing what you say doesn't make it a reality.

You and your friends intentionally blind people. There is no need to put that in quotation marks. That IS what you're doing. And I bet you take much care not to blind others while you're moving your head to blind the person you think haven't reacted clearly enough to the presence of you and your friends. Aren't you just great.

I bet you and your friends also have lightbars on top of your trucks and always run with them on.

You used it as an argument to show that it wasn't blinding, adding that you "looked away" to not blind people. If it wasn't to show you didn't blind people, why on earth would you mention that you hadn't had anyone flashing you as a response to a post talking about cut-off beams so as to not blind people?


Yes, it's obvious that you don't get it. You can look at the traffic in intersecting lanes without pointing your helmet light at them. It's no big deal, despite your confusion about such a simple thing.
Dunning. Meet Kruger.
You're driving in a right side country. There is a road at your left. You turn your head to look up it. You don't turn it enough to point it up the side road. Where does the beam go? It goes up the road that YOU are on, blinding people coming at YOU on the road YOU are on.


I get that you're super confused by something that is so simple. I've tried to help you with your ignorance. Sadly, I haven't been successful.
You haven't been successful because you spout nonsense. Do I need to draw you a frigging cartoon before you get that having a helmet light will blind people? You don't even understand that pointing your helmet out on the road you are on because you look to the left will blind people coming at you.

You're confusing folks who use basic safety measures at night with "my friends." I don't know, let alone am I friendly with , those thousands and thousands of riders who understand how to use a helmet light to protect themselves from inattentive drivers.

Still 100% true:

I get that you're super confused by something that is so simple. I've tried to help you with your ignorance. Sadly, I haven't been successful.

(don't have truck, let alone a light bar, but don't let those facts get in the way of your fantasy)
Oh, you don't have a truck with a lightbar? Well, you certainly have the behaviour down pat.

But, yeah, blinding people is now a "safety measure". To hell with others or riding according to the environment. You have a right to blind others. I hope people in cars or on other bikes do the same to you and your friends one day, ruining your night vision while preventing you from seeing what else is happening around you.

Nope, wrong again. Decades of experience riding at night. Again, I get that you're confused and somehow offended by folks who use helmet lights, but that's your problem to work through, not mine.
LOL, you think I don't have decades of riding? Do you think you're the only one? You truly are full of yourself, thinking you have an innate right to blind others. I am not "offended" by people with helmet lights. I am pointing out you are making it more dangerous for everyone else.

What's funny is that you brought up DK, and your response here are a perfect example. Little, if any, experience with the subject at hand yet you just have all of the answers. "Answers" that are directly contradicted by decades of experience.
I don't think I brought up Denmark in this thread at all.

Secondly, because I live in a small country doesn't mean I haven't been travelling all over the world on a bicycle, and it doesn't mean I don't ride in the dark. Just how desperate do you have to be to make such a stupid argument? Are you effing kidding me?

It's really funny. In a laughing at the cargodane thing kind of way.
Ah, yes, the typical Dunning Kruger. Can't even get why it's not a good idea to blind other people - let alone people in 3-5000 lb steel missiles. But since you don't make a living in a small country, you somehow know better than anyone else how it's absolutely great to blind people to make sure your journey is not impeded one bit. To hell with others.

Let me repeat: Why do you think cars have cut-off beams and you are not allowed to use the high beams constantly? Could it possibly be because blinding others is not a good thing? That it is actually dangerous?
But, somehow, YOU are exempt. You should be allowed to blind anyone you like, all so you won't be inconvenienced in the slightest.

Sorry. I forgot you have an innate right to blind others.
It's funny rereading you posts. You sure have changed your tune. Now it's your right to blind others - because you don't live in a small country where it is apparently never dark, nor can anyone living in said country travel anywhere with or on their bikes. No, you live in a BIIG country, so therefore you must be right.
Desperate little you.

Btw, Fred, I always thought you were riding a recumbent in that avatar of yours (can't click it bigger). Is that true? It's difficult to do a search on "Expedition 2010" and "03 GTO".

You began by saying you turned your head away so as to not blind people. Now it's your innate right to blind people. That is "changing your tune".

People who do that are not "competent". They are selfish people who will endanger others so as not to drive according to the conditions.
That you think it's being a "competent cyclist" to blind others is Dunning-Kruger talking again.

I am not building strawmen, nor am I using such stupid arguments as "you're from a small country, so you can't possibly know how to act in traffic when it's dark".

You are now on ignore.

My triangle is wider/bigger, but unfortunately only the top one is actually a light, so unless it's a car or motorcycle or a bike with powerful headlights, they will only see the red central light.
