I see your bright LED headlight post, and I respond with matching LEDs, one sanded down a bit to diffuse the light.
(lemmy.world)
The top one is diffused, bottom one untouched and only shining forward like a laser.
This is obviously no special flashlight, but rather a simple example of how to fix/address the obvious problems with blinding LED headlights mentioned in this post..
If they diffused those headlights instead of tuning them for maximum possible forward brightness they might actually be more useful but lose out to competitors on the all important lumen ratings.
Something like that yeah. It's almost like the engineers that design headlights like that have never driven at all, never drove at night, or never pointed a laser at their eyes..
