Please bear in mind that it won't be to the relevant spec. for

People who make up stuff in order to make a fantasy point are a bigger
barrier to truth and justice.

Technically if the light(s) being used on a bicycle are not marked
with the relevant BS (or EU equivalent or better) standard you should
also have such lamps fitted and working.

Any lawyer worth their salt would pick up on the use of "unapproved"
lights only to make a case of "contributory negligence".

At least these days it appears that you can legally have flashing
lights, which IMHO are easier to spot, even if the BS hasn't yet
caught up. But that may be a bit grey...

What might be a problem with this lamp is dazzle to on coming
traffic. dipped car headlights have a definite cutoff. This lamp
won't have that and just angling in down a bit might not be
sufficient, some form of hood may also be required.
