Better than "good enough" rapidly becomes multiple redundancy and enters diminishing returns. I don't need a beam suitable for going 100 miles an hour because I never will go that fast on my bike. But I descended on unfamiliar roads with my old halogen setup at 25 mph; I could descend faster with my current LED light and expect that will be even more true with the incoming eDelux II. When is enough enough? When one succeeds in recreating daylight? Fiat Lux! Damn, probably 50 years ago I rode back and forth to work with a bottle generator and a headlight with an incandescent light bulb. And, part of the ride was across small "dikes"perhaps 10 - 12 inches wide that divided a rice paddy. Slipping off the path there ended up with the cyclist being knee deep in very smelly sludge. Amazingly I rode that bike nearly every day for a year or so and never had a problem. I'd have probably ended up in the rice paddy in broad daylight. ;-) Back in those days the Japanese used human feces for fertilizer and rice paddies had a rather "rich" odor. My guess was after you fell in once you'd have gotten off and pushed from then on :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
