Why? After all in daylight you don't want the road or ground 6 feet in front to be harder to see than the road/ground 20 feet away?
I would have thought an ideal beam would be equally bright with a clean cutoff to avoid dazzling drivers.

You're nearer to it [the road 6' in front], so you don't need as much light. Andirc wrote: ↑25 Sep 2024, 11:40amWhy? After all in daylight you don't want the road or ground 6 feet in front to be harder to see than the road/ground 20 feet away?

If I am going slower it may be because these is a hazard. Narrow gate etc. I want to see that as much as something further away. Maybe just personal preference or as suggested the degree. As a rough idea I perceive the far away part of the beam to be around 3 or 4x brighter than the near part.mattheus wrote: ↑25 Sep 2024, 11:42amYou're nearer to it [the road 6' in front], so you don't need as much light.

You've already seen it, cos it was well illuminated a second earlier, and
When you're worried about the nearest 6' you're usually going slower, so less danger
Has been addressed elsewhere I think but to confirm (from someone who grabbed one for a fiver)
