Isn't it hilarious how two guys in Honolulu are communicating with each other via SC?

Is that 500 lumens per headlight or for your two-lamp setup?

I use a Black Diamond Icon headlamp for lighting. It fits on my helmet, which allows me to direct its beam wherever I want, and has multiple modes and output levels. Most of the time I just strap it to the handlebar and light the path in front of me. Either way, I can take it with me when I have to lock up my i2 if I go into a store or restaurant during the evening.

The Icon is rated at 625 lux maximum. I used to use a Petzl Tikka XP, but I wanted a brighter LED lighting system that would get the attention of drivers who only look to the left when making their right turns instead of also checking to their right for pedestrians and gliders.

Aloha,
Roger
