When going at high speeds (I have an electric tricycle), will these lights still make roads or paths visible?

I cruise at 15 mph before dawn on a paved bike trail and this head lamp has worked fine for me.

I think they do ok up to 15 mph. I use them in the trails in the woods and the beam is a little tight. I use two to open up the field of vision. They have kind of a lousy mounting base. I use a hair scrunch to keep it from getting knocked loose. I would try a different brand in the future.

The brightness of rear lights is about getting noticed, not seeing your way. I feel very confident that anyone approaching from behind will notice me with this light. But I also have an additional light on each side of my bike to be sure that vehicles approach from the side, or at an angle, will see me.

helloFor my night road tryning on the road bike is very useful, I do in Mexico than the road are very dangerous than the US, the wide headlight efective ahead is around 120° to 150° , maybe is the only weak point i detected for this item, but is a very powerfull light for only 360 lumens

I don't know but they are very bright and if there are any cars anywhere on the road you would have to turn them of . Where you could leave your high beam on til the other car got closer.

I used the light on my 12 mile daily commute to and from work. Part of that commute takes me over some rough terrain. I've had my Cygolite for two weeks mounted to the front forks. Lights had stayed in place. As a matter of fact, yesterday I broke a screw which holds my rear rack to frame after running over some a man hole cover which had been dislodged out of place.

The light I bought is holding up good with very rough play. Mine is set to blink. I got the red one and it is well visible at night. I live 1/2 mile off a paved road and have no street lights. Very dark at night. Only problem is it is not facing you all the time

The light comes on when I walk my bike so it should be ok on a hill. I don't see an appreciable difference in light output. I have a Shimano Alfine hub.

I would say it has adequate light at low speeds. Bear in mind that most bike generators are 3 watt units, so the generator only has to be delivering one third of its capacity to drive the unit.

It depends on your bike and where you are biking. The front and back LED are more so other people see you, not to illuminate the trail or road. I bike in the city and so I just want others to see me and know that there is a bike on the road. These were just what I needed and still work great.

depends on how you aim them. mine light up the road about 100-150 feet ahead.

no these lights are not good for direct sight,meaning they have to bounce off of something,they would blind other drivers!!Size of LED's,they are small squares with four points of LED's 3520 are smaller then 5050

Personally I wired them to a switch that I mounted on my fairing and I put a fuse on the line. I was going to wire them into my low beams but seeing how bright they were, I only use them when there is no oncoming traffic, I was getting flashed ALOT by other cars. So having the ability to control when they were on and when they were off was a plus.

On high beam I've taken a 1.5 hour ride and it was still burning bright at the end. When on flashing I've gone over 2 hours with no problem. Without a meter on it I don't know how long it really lasts. I've gotten to really like the light. On high my field of vision in dark, country riding is I'm comfortable riding up to about 19 MPH. When there are a lot of critters running around I do slow down to about 16 so I have plenty of time to swerve.

yes i have it on my motorized bicycle i can go 35 mph and have not had a problem with the vibration as far as bright you will love it i have not seen brighter it is literally a spot light on bright mode hope this helped you

If it's really dark you could see the patterns already at 5mph. At 10-15mph the image is much clearer and nice to look at but I would say the perfect speed is around 15-20 mph. So there's no need to ride like crazy to see the image in any case, normal riding is just enough.

it's mainly to alert drivers. Maybe if you use more than one you can have a lot of visibility. Hope it helps!

Bud, hi beams light up the road as if you have two cars beside you. You can see about 100 yards in front of you. I have both low n hi beam piaa . Just can't seem to get the fog light bulbs, or else the road would be day light .
