Has anyone used those beam benders on car headlights when travelling to France? Do they actually work and deflect the light in one direction? If so, do you think it's worth cutting one in half and covering the top half of the lamps to deflect that part of the beam down? So lots of low long coverage and less sky and eyes of drivers of oncoming traffic?

That's right, you mince by 2000 Lumens now instead

I know 3 local riders with vision problems for whom the increase in output from lights has transformed their ability to ride at night.

Previously they struggled to discern trail details but now can ride with confidence. One of these guys can only see from one eye (the other eye can only give blurry outlines in daytime) and the other has MS which has seriously impaired his vision from both eyes.

For them bright lights are the difference between staying at home or getting out on the trails. This is off road rather than on road though.

It's not a case of riding to and from trails - my ride was (is) bit of trail/bit of road/bit of trail repeat lots.

Then leave your commuter light on permanently, and just turn your main light on and off as needed.

I don't know why you're making this out as difficult.

Anyway. Sod it - I'm off to put my lights on charge so I can be a tit, struggle with easy tasks and dazzle unsuspecting road users again tomorrow night.

Well, it was pretty clear from your OP that consideration for others isn't important to you.

Did you remember to charge up your lights? There are other road users out there waiting to be blinded.
