Light pod in windshield?

[bflint]

Learned an Illumination 101 lesson last night. I decided to hookup the Black Oak light pod last night (with wires hanging out) and try it out on various dark and semi-dark roadways in the area. Parked on side of road and hand held the pod to test various bike locations and angles. WOW ... really learned something about how illumination works and doesn't work. When I held it at mirror level slightly pointing down a bit, it worked great ... I could see the road surface for much farther than my PIAA headlight. When I held it at front fender mount level (where my previous Denali D2's were mounted) parallel with the road, the road was not illuminated (I could vaguely see that there was a little bit more light in the air) ... so I pointed it down a bit I could see the road surface but not much farther than the PIAA headlight. SO, now I am thinking about devising a quick release light mount to hook on the mirror body somewhere.
