I reviewed a bag full of lights a couple of years ago. The "Urban 850" (£120) comes with the warning: "Never look directly at light. Eye injury can result". Now they make an "Urban 1000". I have tried shielding my eyes and wobbling across the road when light like this come at me at night - they don't go away.
Not surprisingly the German regulations require controlled beams that don't dazzle. Blindingly obvious.
