Opinions are like elbows.....my opinion is if you are trying to avoid hitting wildlife the last thing I would do is turn a lot of light on them. I think all you're doing is blinding them.
The benefit of all the light is that your site distance is longer, so you can see them sooner, and slow down sooner, hopefully avoiding hitting them. That's one reason people want aux lights.
Or in the desert, where there's no ambient lighting from houses, businesses, street lights, people want more light to see further.
THat's why Baja 1000 racers use eleventy-billion watts of lights on their race vehicles - longer sight distance.
OOPS, maybe they only run 1.21 jiga watts, powered by a flux capacitor
Interesting. All 3 deer hits I've suffered (2 totalled the vehicle and one was 2000 bucks in damage) we all from deer that came into the side of my vehicle, not the front and I never saw any of them because lights don't go around the sides.
