There is a big yellow light, even when there is a diffuser (clouds) over it it’s insanely bright...
Ah but this was posted by someone else.

Its about overly bright headlights the xenon type etc generally but particularly at night.
FWIW I agree. Which is why I brought it up.
It was not clear to me whether Colin531 meant he was blinded on sharp bridge brows in the day or at night either.
As to the big bright yellow thing, it is a great aid to see with but not so good to be seen.
In fact when low in the sky can be quite a hinderance.
Running with lights; it is simply about catching the eye and therefore making another road user aware of one's presence.
I don't find well adjusted normal brightness headlights an intrusion at all. I find them overall a benefit especially in rural places.
That is what I use on my car and I will continue to do so.
Each to his own.
I think there's a reasonable case for front (and rear) daytime lights on bikes too in some places/light conditions. But again we are all free to choose. I mostly choose not to, but there have been some valid points in doing so raised here. Dull daylight conditions maybe?
