- Apparently, the people you really need to convince are the ones
- looking at your lights. They seem to have misinterpreted the
- light as glare. Maybe if you explain it to them their eyes will
- react differently and they won't object to the glare enough to
- flash their high beams at you.
-
- (Remember, that's where this started, someone being tired of
- getting high-beams flashed in his face all the time. That's a sign
- people in a position to know think his lights are glaring in their
- eyes.)
-
- I assume of course you aren't using these in wet weather? You do
- understand that a low-mounted light pointed down at a wet surface
- reflects up in the face of oncoming drivers, right? That's one
- problem with people claiming that any wattage of light is fine as
- long as the beam has a sharp cutoff -- it assumes no significant
- reflective glare, which simply isn't true in many conditions.
