daylight running

RE: daylight running
I just started to run with the bright beam on during day light, since I have noother lights.
Think it would be handy to have lower mounted running lights.Running lights seem, to me, to be the most noticeable, when they and your headlight form a triangular patten.

I also run a Headlight Strobe. I've been using this one for the last 3 years
It makes my headlight more noticeable compared to a regular white light.

It just makes you more noticeable to the human eye. If you look at the headlight straight on, you see white light, a couple of degrees off center and you see a 3 color rainbow of dinstinct color.CHP's and the locals don't give me any grief about running it.

Hmmmm......let me try to explain this easily.
Here's the problem - people (everyone) will not notice a high beam or low beam headlamp unless they are looking FOR it. The strobe is a very bright source compareable to the sun. When the strobe lamp is flashing you have 10+ times more light output than a high beamhalogen bulb. People will tend to notice the flashing of the strobe lamp easier during daytime hours.
Your best defense in the daytime is LOUD EXHAUST.

Without lamps I agree, run with the high beams. But, on my RK if I turn the high beams on the lamps turn off and I think it is more visible with three lights up front instead of just one bright one.
