My dad was recently telling me that (in the USA) headlights were regulated to something like 130 watts (or amps, idk. It was something about the amount of power used by the bulbs). This was back when halogen bulbs were used for headlights, and there was an effort to try and pump the most amount of brightness out of them while staying within the power limits.
Then LED became more and more common and that power limit was basically a nonissue. Manufacturers could then turn up the brightness as much as they wanted and that’s why headlights are such a problem now
130 watt LED is used to light a warehouse or construction zone.
Or my rearview mirror while blinding me...
It's why some people angle their mirrors to reflect all that light back to the driver of the car behind them. Cars should come with a mirror shield that automatically folds out over the back window
I though I was the only one petty enough to do that... Now I now there must be dozens of us!
You just described my drive home last night. Had someone with blinding headlights behind me almost the entire time. Finally got the bright (ha ha) idea to adjust my mirrors. Not sure if it worked on them, but at least my eyesight was restored.
