      I keep a light on my helmet with a flash feature for these occasions. And to keep people from using intersections while I’m still using a crosswalk.

      There are bike lights with high beam too! Mine is Busch + Müller IQ-XL. It’s awesome.

      Edit: I also want to add: PLEASE get a headlight with a cut-off so you don’t blind others. The German StVZO certification is great but not a lot of those lights available in the US.

      I use programmable Gloworm lights. Low=400lm, high=3600lm, flash=3600lm when most lights only flash at 100-200lm. I normally use 400lm at night, high if I am getting beamed, painful daylight flash if they don’t get the message.

      I flash them. If you’re gonna blind me. I’m gonna blind you back. I know I’m dumb and immature!

      I know that as cyclists we are our own enemies I had to do it to other people with super wide lights that were poorly positioned.

      I was out on the MTB, and a bus driver tried to blind me with the high beams.

      He quickly regretted than when I turned on my 5k lumens of offroad lights

      Ive got a 1700 lumen helmet light and a 2200 lumen handlebar light. If needed I turn both on max and make sure to aim the helmet light for faces.

      Looks good. Just keep it below the eye-line of other cyclists when not on car streets.
