    1 lux at 1,000 metres... dang

    https://www.vicoffroad.com.au/pair-9...l-offroad.html

    Interesting variation for 9 inch LED driving lights.

    1 lux at almost 1100 metres is better than most HIDs

    then there's these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pair-9-i...ery!6169!AU!-1

    I can't even see that far so would want to sacrifice a bit of range for more spread

    .... aaaaand for the totally insane laser style https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pair-9-i...UAAOSw7m9bDkWU

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Could paint a Bat Signal on 'em and shine 'em at low clouds as well...

    Serious question. How far is far enough? Do you really need to see 1km ahead at night? Why isn't 500m enough? I would thiink the level of illumination for a 1km sight line would render your vision useless when dropping to low beam for oncoming traffic.

    What would be the best compromise for sight distance vs pupil dilation?

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    I doubt the driving lights on 'others' were actually turned on, if you compare the lit up poles on the RH side of the image. Plus, if your eyes are that crappy you can't pick up an obstacle with the 'others' lights at 500m, then being able to have 1 lux at 1000m aint going to help. Lastly, 1 lux is damn near pitch black anyway, hardly enough to be able to see anything at walking speed, let alone 100klm/hr.

    You just had to go and spoil the magic.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    FWIW-IME, Super bright lights around our neck of the woods seem to hypnotically attract Big Bouncing Bunnies, much like Moths to a naked dangerous flame!
