Does this light light up the road like a car light? Is it blindingly bright?

It is quite bright. I have two of them mounted on the each side of my front tires. At 500 lumens for each light it can be seen from well over a 100 yards. I can't say it is blinding but it does get the attention of motorists.

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.

It is not as bright as a car light nor as wide. It does light up your pathway though, one of the best I have seen.

my husband is using it on his bike helmet; said it was not as strong as he thought it would be and we've had a cold snap so he has not been out much to really get a good feel of how far it will cast.

I am not sure if it is "blindingly bright," but it is very bright and has a very strong projection.

This light is bright but I point it down, 10-12feet in front of me. No car has flashed their lights at me so it must ne okay. It projects a white light in the center about four feet. The radius of light is enough even outside of the four feet. I've only used it twice at night and so far I like it.

Yes. It is very bright. Another thing I like about it is -- since I have them all over the house, I always have a flashlight handy.

Before we've even took it out into the real world we tried it out at home . It is fricking bright. Could probably blind someone at close range if looking directly at it, I would think. In a brightly lit road, it's still visible, even in rain. I'd say it reaches about (from your standing point) to maybe a bit over twenty feet away? An approximate, tried it in an unlit hall.

my opinion it is quite bright. It can make driver noticeable in suburb dark street. and many flush settings can help too.

This light is extremely bright. Don't be surprised if on coming traffic flashes you to turn it down. you shouldn't have any problems seeing the road.

I can't tell you that. I have no idea. However I can say that it's bright. I was concerned that it would not be but I was pleasantly surprised.

yes, the light has 2 levels of bright. It's nice. The face of the unit is plastic with a glass window. Be careful of cleaning, not to scratch the face, if you choose black.

It's a pretty soft light. However in a pitch black room it would seem pretty bright. I use it to light up the bottom of a stairway when I go downstairs in the middle of the night,and it lights the whole area. Say a 6ft circle. But it's not a blinding light even if you stare at the shade. You might consider one with a dimmer switch or install one on a corded lamp (check youtube). I love mine. I'll probably get another one at some point. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is very bright. I have it in my crafting room and love the illumination it gives to work by.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

I would consider it more or less a combo. The light reaches out very wide to the sides of my vehicle (I have it mounted to a roof rack on top of my SUV) But on top of the light being bright to the sides, I have noticed that light has lit up about a 1/4 mile of road before. I am honestly very pleased with the performance for the price.

Actually pretty good. It's not a blinding light. It's as bright as the low beams on my Polaris 500. It has a fair flood patern if used for visibility. Just not far reaching.

The light really does not have a beam because it's like a flood light. It does fill up a large area with plenty of light. The one I have mounted on my ATV lights up all the area my perifreil vision can see. Plenty of forward light that lights up 1/2 Aker of land

Yes, it's bright. I have a small area and it brightens it up. Not quite sure about the total watts? ...it is beautiful! I needed it plug into outlet and the wiring for that was a little tricky but they give a help number to call and their assistance made it easy. Enjoy!

Yes, very bright. I have it shining over table and lights up very good. I would use one in kitchen as well.

from their website it says it uses 30 watts of power but puts out 1900 lumens. I live in a townhouse end unit and installed it out front instead of the CFL floodlight for night security for my car and truck. I am slightly up hill in my driveway compared to the street and neighboring building across the street and I have the light aimed down towards my car and truck. But with the reflection inside of the light housing it lights up the entire 4 unit townhouse building across the street as well and my neigh door neighbors driveway and side yard to my other neighbors building. So it is bright that's for sure.

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.
