Collin: How do you like the K-Lite? I have an earlier model -- 2016 IIRC, with single lamp, 600 and 1,200 lumens claimed, and candybar-sized capacitor+switching system that tucks nicely away in a frame bag.
I use it only on familiar dirt "acequia" irrigation roads in our bosque, but even with my bad night vision it is very nice -- I do carry a battery back up for those times when speed drops below, say, 8-10 mph. Agree about blinding oncomers, but I do use mine largely, if not entirely, on dirt roads and paths that after dark are not very much frequented. Must look more closely at the Rocketgeist product line.
