Feels safer than day riding too with a 2000LM light.
You turn it down when a car approaches right?
Right?
Well my light is angled downwards hopefully it's not a problem. But I'm not sure if it's actually brighter than modern car lights.
I'll be honest i hate those really bright lights. I get blind spots in my vision when coming across them during daytime already and don't want to imagine how blind they'd make me at night. I also don't see the use of them. I have my small light that came with my bike and see by far enough at night.
Would you mind posting a link to your lamp on Amazon?
Make sure to buy lights that follow German StVZO regulations if you're on the road. They're not necessarily expensive. they have controlled beams with a horizontal cutoff so they don't blind people, like motor vehicle lights.
Based on the link in his other comment, it does have horizontal cutoff
Actually I got it on Aliexpress (link). There might be better priced options but I got this one because it comes with an adaptor for GoPro mounts so I could mount it under my bike computer. It's otherwise much too heavy and large to mount on handlebars.
