have 2800 lumens right into your retina
Good luck, I can't see anything on the road other than a giant penny farthing anyway

*parks on hill, left in drive, also lodged in the wheel well and mulched
As god intended 🇺🇲🦅
welcome to the wheelhouse :3
I hate all LED headlights. Absolute blight on mankind.
"ah that's in my eyes, that must be high beam. I'll flash mine and get them to turn it down. ohA ARHARHRJKSHAJKLHJLK 
"
Even normal headlights feel like highbeams to me yo, staring into the sun seems less painful in comparison
Driving a sedan at night is agony in the age of SUVs and trucks with LED headlights
So take that agony then imagine having more than half your year in darkness and you'll have the Alaskan experience in a nutshell.
Someone should make Hövding but as a bomb vest that activates when getting hit by a car
blows my head off, directly though the windscreen onto the drivers lap where i can make horrifying eye contact as by brain juice leaks out of me over their birkenstocks
in hindsight i should've got the 6000 lumen one for fun
It's ok, just adjust it up or down depending on how bright incoming traffic is. It'll have the same effect.
Good on ya!
I’m thankful that my car’s model still has aftermarket bulbs that aren’t retina-piercers. Good luck with your suicide lumens.
Carbrains have no rights
What about other cyclists? I’ve been blinded more often by cyclists who don’t turn their light slightly downwards than by cars
turn it downwards
