Lots of light, lots of shade

The well-intentioned reviews are quite strange. Since 4-5 stars are given, but this is written, useless as a lamp good, but as a bicycle lamp on poorly lit roads, because too narrowly focused (which incidentally also true, you can not and must Dina gladly believe).
Yes reigns, what is a bicycle lamp to afford otherwise please illuminate the way as clever? If they can not, it is smooth but failed as bicycle headlights.

Well, maybe so many after all just impressed by the really very bright beam of light, no comparison with an old External Dynamo Wretched Glühfadenfunzel. But the problem of the SMART LED lamp is much too narrow focus. Through the LED technology the light cone illustration is so sharp that it remains completely dark outside the light cone.
With what you have is the next problem: when the lamp distributed no light in lateral directions, this can not, or only very weakly perceived. Direct illuminated are blinded, but the sides of which one sees nothing and noticed almost nothing. Reviewers who think they would at least seen good like, stop the beloved bike times and look laterally offset to the vehicle or the headlight.

You should ausloben this lamp only as an additional high beam. But then like 5 star, especially since it works well and is to operate well with "ENELOOP" -etc. batteries. But: put five (but not stars!).

But not in awe before an original froze fearless and technically something savvy handyman there is a remedy: to rough the front lens with very fine sandpaper or sanding blocks, how to use them for the final polishing of wooden surfaces. Useful are not approximately circular grinding movements, but vertical (relative to the lamp assembly) grinding marks. These are at the end finest scratches, naturally produce also some loss. In the end those losses keep but to what one might fear in much smaller limits. As with frosted glass or Plexiglas Items since if you do not overdo it, maybe 10% light throughput loss (measured!)
The effect is amazing: I play achieved a doubling of the beam width in the horizontal direction, that is exactly what is lacking to the original state. In addition, even further scattered by the rough surface somewhat in width, the light-dark boundary is no longer as sharp, this will be now perceived by non-frontal Oncoming, the beam has a much more natural distribution and can be seen playing the maybe in the urban thicket lurking wild boar. Every now and then sinds indeed Wildsäue behind the wheel that should be recognized in time.
Of course, the punctual luminosity is now significantly weaker, the amount of light is not so grown, but now spread over a larger area. But in the mode 100% it loose enough for a usable illumination, it is also seen good, and for the low price, it is then more than ok. I am very pleased with my SMART.
The imitation of grinding happens naturally "at your own risk" !!!
If you worked at night, you can instantly observe the effect and so grope at his own request cone shape. And the result was displeased, or who has overdone it with the editor 'some fat over the sanded disc they restored almost to its original state.
Apart from that: as an additional high beam SMART lamp is already in its original state actually very smart. For the price you can even assemble nearly two BWA, a beschliffene and an original perhaps?

And. , , Comments from Mitschleifern welcome! so that there is a feedback whether this is a useful way to get the lamp in this way suitable. Similar voices there are already isolated.

Addendum: In order to receive a passable illumination even after the grinding method described here, it is better to pick up the same slightly more expensive, but almost twice as bright sister model Smart LED battery lamp Egg White, 220 903. The suffering due to the same type under the same problem of too little spots, but with the grinding method to get better in and with this lamp.
