I concur with what you say about personal preferences as between gyro lights
and ditch lights. Also, I've never seen the six light array you mention,
probably with high pwr 32V. (Where are these used?) My comparison was
between the typical pair of ditch lights (however installed / aimed) and the
typical front mounted gyro lights, also however mounted / installed.
You might be interested that what we know as ditch lights are indeed
headlights on electric MU eqpmnt in the US now, in electrified territories.
MNR (former NYNH&H and NYC lines), NJT (PRR and DL&W lines), LIRR, METRA (IC
lines), and probably CSS&SB lines, whatever they call themselves today.
Likely also SEPTA (PRR and RDG lines), MARC [Maryland Area Rail Commuter]
(PRR and B&O lines), et cetera! Notably that's not the case in Canada, at
least Eastern Canada (GO) and the Montreal commuters, whatever they call
themselves these days.
