When I went for the first time, I didn’t check whether the headlight was blinding passers-by . only when I returned I guessed to look. I was shocked how bright the headlight was! It was installed a little higher than necessary and blinded a lot . the poor people I met, they turned away of course as best they could, but the headlight did not give them a chance. Some pros: Compact size. Good, swivel mount with lots of rubber pads for better fixation. Very bright, directional beam of light. Cons: Not yet. But the battery doesn't seem to last long. Let's go, let's see.
