On the subject of bike lights. Most of the current lights appear to use some LEDs which makes sense, of course. However the brightness of output light looks like completely unregulated.
On so many occasions I would get blinded by overly bright lights of an incoming cyclist during late evening ride.
I also hate flashing lights. Is it just me or do flashing bike lights cause some kind of strange mild disorientation? In addition, they are distracting and stop me seeing other things.
I think flashing makes more sense at day time or twilight where they aren't nearly as contrast with the background brightness. You get massively better battery life blinking than solid on. But of course nothing stops a incompetent user using flashing lights pointed upwards at night.
