In my experience, a modern, StVZO-conforming LED based headlight is more than good enough for riding in city traffic. More power usually only serves to blind other cyclists and still can't compete with car headlights. Riding in the woods and in the dark, on the other hand, is better done using a weaker, but wider beam. The only reasonable need I see for more powerful headlights is when driving on unlit rural roads. Here you need a powerful low beam and sometimes also a high beam. -- Thank you for observing all safety precautions
