I wonder which optic makes the best bike light
How does your setup compares with a Lumintop B01 beam shape? Can you post beamshots (wall hunting and real life with the bike)? Thx

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.
@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.
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.

Iirc you want one with a wide beam, so cars on your left and right + intersections get light coming at them
