Does the light illuminate the road behind?

It is bright enough to illuminate road behind if it was aimed down. But my purpose for the light is to be visible to drivers approaching from the rear. Therefore, the beam is directed behind, vertically level with the bike seat (approximately at driver's eye height), and horizontallyslightly to my (biker facing direction of travel) left since I ride generally to the right side of roadway.

very bright light that does illuminate the rear somewhat, although not designed for that purpose

Not sure if it actually illuminates the road behind your bike. I think most tail lights are designed to make YOU visible to others and not necessarily for lighting the road like a headlight does.

It is unquestionably the MOST powerful rear light i have had. I cannot comment on its usefulness as illuminating the road as I am always faced forward, however, given how bright it is I can assume that it does. Hope that helps.

The brightness is just enough to be visible during the daytime. At night, it is not as bright as the headlight or the OEM DRLs. IT's more of an accent lighting. I hope it helps.

Sort of, I have mine 20 ft. up in a tree to provide light in the yard below. It is a soft glow. If you were trying to light something you wanted people to see from the street I would suggest going to a brighter one.

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!

Not sure but I think it has some kind of back ground light. I just made the print bigger when I was checking it out

This camera does not, but if used while driving the car headlights should be adequate to light the scene. On thing I actually like is that this does not include the LEDs used by other cameras, the LEDs are no where near strong enough and will more than likely cause a glare from the windscreen.

Not sure -- certainly more than adequate to help illuminate a walking path.

It does light up the road but not comparable to your headlamps. I do have a 500lumens Duracell and a 1000 Lumens Duracell. I believe this item is misinformed and is only at 500 Lumens. My 1000 Lumens is very very bright.

I am not sure I understand your question. I think you are asking if it is either illuminated or not and the answer is yes.

from drivers perspective they are not hard to drive behind. from an oncoming traffic point of view - depends on the angle of the road and height of on-coming car but so far nobody on-coming has flashed their lights, notating that my lights are bothering them. I hope this helps!

No , but you can move and adjust lights around to get more light to area needed

It doesn't illuminate. But with the right amount of light, it is very clear.

Im not positive, but I'm thinking the answer is NO. My front light is out after just two months (and hardly any use, since it's summer). I first noticed it was out shortly after I got caught in a downpour three times in two weeks on my commute. I could have been out earlier, but it would not surprise me if the thing got shorted by water.

In a shadowy sense yes. Trees & bushes are recognizable in a muted light. Not a total blackout by any means.

No, but even at night its not distractingly bright. There is a newer version that has a safety cutoff built in if you lean out that's better than this model. Of course it costs more. If you're running a bit fat for safeties sake then this is a good buy

yes, and it provides an excellent ilumination. Also has a switch to use it on, off and auto. hope it helps =)

Yes. Bright enough. I can see it on the hood. It disappears when it crosses the gap between the hood and windshield, then reappears on the dash.
