Is this headlight annoyingly bright for people driving in front of me?

No, it is white and bright but not annoying to other people in front of you.

Correctly aligned these lights shouldn't bother anyone in front of you. However they have such a long reach it's up to you to keep them on low beam if you can even see the tail lights of the car you're following. You also must be quick to lower the high beams to oncoming traffic to prevent the dazzling effect presented by these intense lights.

I personally would not black out headlights as a safety factor. Typically making headlights brighter is the trend recently.

It is incredibly bright, so if you're not going to make eye contact with it, go for it. If you will keep making eye contact with the bulb, I'd avoid it.

No it's not as strong as a car light (compare lumens when trying to determine brightness) It is bright enough to light up the road however. "Blindingly bright?" no,but it's pretty powerful.

Try the factory default. Very bright but very effective to my eye. Good luck. WO

No, not at all! It's certainly bright, but it shouldn't disturb anyone else.

No. Use it only as a supplemental light. Spend a little more money and get a light with high lumens. It'll make you more visible to cars and you'll see better. Ride Safe!

It's as bright as my HID headlight from my car may be a little brighter. And yes you could blind people and or animal if directly beaming towards eyes. Amazingly bright!

I agree. It is annoyingly loud at it's highest volume setting and stays loud unless you either manually turn it down,or set it to mute. The lights are also adequate, even in daylight conditions. I wish the lighted band display was larger.Also, the suction cup mount is not too secure to the windshield in cold weather.All that said, I am still glad I have it as it has alerted me many times of police radar,even from behind.But keep in mind ,by the time it detects the LASER band, your speed is already known,and you will probably be pulled over.

yes they are bright. but becasue the are positioned low, (fog lights) they do not illuminaste a long distance, so probably not safe to use without headlights

no its not naturally bright at night, only when light is put on it... its reflective tape... if you are driving along it wont be glowing as in the photos

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

Not sure the lumens but it is on *whenever* I ride -- day or night. On high blinky in the dark it is annoying, but during the day I leave it on that setting and it seems to get attention.

Technically, a car headlight can be 1000 lumens or more. In practice, when cars pass me, it seems we have about the same amount of brightness hitting the ground, but they have more spread (i.e. they are illuminating more area than my light is). So, yes, I would still say it is as bright as a car light, just doesn't cover the amount of area a car light does. It is great for bicycling in the dark.

Hi,It is fine for street use purposes. It will not effect the color of your headlights as much. JohnnyiJDMTOY.

It's brighter. Because the pattern is more focused. Can easily annoy drivers, that can be a good and bad thing. But you will be seen.
