6.3 Anti-Glare T-Shaped Beam

The CR600 utilizes a second-generation anti-glare lens that creates a T-shaped beam. This design provides a wide short-range floodlight and a focused long-distance spotlight, ensuring you can see clearly while being considerate of oncoming traffic and pedestrians by preventing glare.

Figure 6.1: Anti-Glare Lens Beam Pattern

This diagram illustrates the effectiveness of the anti-glare T-shaped beam. It compares the CR600's light beam, which illuminates the path ahead for the cyclist without blinding oncoming traffic or pedestrians, to a conventional light beam that causes glare and potential blindness for others.

Figure 6.2: Anti-Glare Cutoff Beam

This image demonstrates the anti-glare cutoff beam of the RAVEMEN CR600 headlight. It shows a clear horizontal line above which the light beam is sharply cut off, preventing light from shining into the eyes of oncoming road users.
