I have one, and it's NOTHING like the image - if it hadn't have been a gift I would have returned it. I'll give you that it looks cool and other cyclists see it and like it, but as soon as a car with bright headlights comes anywhere near you it disappears... It has no practical use in helping keep cars at bay. I'd also agree with some comments above that drivers are looking a few feet up, not at the road. I find 3 LED lights the best for the rear - one at bottom of seatpost, one on my back and one on my helmet - can easily be seen from all angles - where as a single seat mounted can be hidden for a range of reasons. From the front a Cree T6 from ebay is stupidly bright - keep it aimed at the road. Great for off roading and city riding.
