  • That is quite a complex task. Being able to focus the beam in a certain direction is one thing. And it is the easier part.

    But where should it focus to? You cannot just base the up/down position of the head and therefore the lamp as such, you also need to know where the wearer is looking left or right of the direction of travel. Just imagine you are sitting in a car and a guy with such a headlamp is coming in your direction. All this biker needs to do is just turn his head and look at you for some reason, and blam! You are staring right into a blazing array of LEDs.










  • You’re very right - There are famously ZERO tourists from other countries in New York City that could be struck by these stray bullets from these cowardly police officers.

    Any tourist visiting the US should be aware of the risk of getting shot. Either accidently by the police or drive-by-shootings, or intentional by gang violence or “stand-your-ground” idiots that shoot everyone passing by who “is not from here”. Visiting the US is like eating Fugu - it is a calculated risk.
