For all those who would rather not be blinded by the light

[Grog]

I do try to turn my light a bit down, but I do need to see far ahead of me. I right in total darkness through a park. I'm not too worried about ninjas (although I did see a guy running out of a trail at 6:30 this morning), but coyotes could be on the road. Or I could run over something and lose control. No thanks.

In other areas however where there's lots of city light, I turn down the intensity.

As long as it is shielded and/or pointed down a bit you can leave it as bright as you like.... seriously it only blinds people coming at you if its right shining in their eyes. I point my bright light down and leave a flashing one pointed straight out.
