Dear Paul,
Directing a bike light is a difficult and "relative matter" with the
"strap-on" light. I strap on my Cat Eye Opti-Cube each time I go out.
It is impossible to keep it stable and directed. Fortunately, I ride on
isolated roads so it is no problem. But directing it is a continual
process as it slips lower and lower with each road bump. Actually if it
is set so high as to illuminate road signs, one cannot see the street in
front of the bike. But then, maybe there are real powerhouse lights for
bikes?

This also orients the light so that it lights the roadway in front of you; a good headlight should not just
be an "indicator" (making you visible to others), but an "illuminator" (lighting your
way). My "poor man's" alignment guide -- if my light is lighting up the reflective material on the
road signs in front of me, it's too high.
