\u201cIn flashing mode its attention-grabbing from a distance in broad daylight, and its so dazzling at night that I\u2019d only use the lower-power steady burn mode after dark. I\u2019ve noticed that drivers slow down and pass with more space when I use this light, compared to many other popular lights.\u201d \u2013 bikelightdatabase.com<\/p>\n

Many lights\u2026have very intense but narrow beams. They form a bright spot that’s visible from a long distance when viewed straight-on, but quickly loses intensity from any other angle.<\/p>\n

The TL-80 implements a diffusing lens that spreads the light out horizontally. The resulting beam is wide and smooth, with far less light being wasted towards the sky and ground, and more visible from off-angles. The difference is immense: while both the TL-60 and TL-80 appear about the same brightness when viewed directly from behind (the TL-60 might even be a bit brighter here), the TL-80 is far brighter from every other direction\u2026<\/p>\n
