^ I agree with that. There's a lot of overkill and a lot of lumen-envy going on.
I worked an event recently where the number of cyclists with no lights on was far outweighed by the number whose front lights were so bright as to dazzle anyone unlucky enough to be in front of them. Beyond a certain point you don't get any more usefully visible and you just make life more difficult for other people.
