1. Whoever designeds the light did not try to ride with it on a dark
road at night. The clear bezel provides so much collateral light spill
that it dazzles the rider. I couldn't ride at any kind of speed at all
once I left the street lights until I stopped and cabel tied a large
puncture repair patch over the top of the bezel. Even so, there was
enough light spilling upwards to be a serious inconvenience. I ended up
after my hours ride with quite a stiff neck from trying to not get the
light in my field of view.
I've had similar trouble with a never-ready light, that I fixed with a
bit of black insulation tape.

the road by 6 foot high shadows of my STI levers and drop bars..
Isn't there some sort of (BS?) requirement for lights to be visible side-on?

especially if Halfords put them on sale at some point....
Thanks for the pointers.
