I wonder which optic makes the best bike light
Shame they don't have one like a car/motorcycle that doesn't shine in all directions blinding all those that look towards it

@Cooljimy84 These don't quite have the hard cutoffs that are ideal for bike lights, but they come pretty close.

@flashlight So far it's looking like the 20x65 has a much harder vertical cutoff than the rest, which is desirable to avoid blinding other road users. The 10x65 and 15x30 don't focus all that well.
I feel like if it's something to use on the road it would likely be pretty floody? Or perhaps a spot with a lot of spill.
Iirc you want one with a wide beam, so cars on your left and right + intersections get light coming at them
