Hi Folks, with the seasons changing, I want to continue riding in the evenings. I used to ride in the evenings a few years ago, and used one of those Nyte Rider head lights that were charged by means of a bottle-sized battery (yes I’m old). Nowadays the lights are much better. Been looking at Lezy…

As someone who does a lot of night riding and gets blinded by way too many riders, please look for lights with the German StVZO standard. Or at least lights that have a similar beam spread pattern. Edit: I really wish I could recommend the Busch & Muller Ixon line of lights, but they are tough to g…

I have the Garmin Varia UT800 and I do like it for anything less than 4 hours. After that the battery can be a little iffy. As a backup and what I put on my daughters bike is the Cygolite Dash pro and really enjoy that light.

[image] ericallenboyd: Cygolite I LOVE my Cygolite Metro 600 (now discontinued). Such a good value light that’s beyond simple to use. On low, medium, high, flash, off. Throws a really good beam that illuminates a lot of the road. I also own the Hot Rod taillight which is also excellent. 1100…

It ain’t sexy but when I need light I’ve found that this helmet head & tail light is the best. It points where I look and is easy to remember whichever bike I grab. <a href="https://www.rei.com/product/122367/light-motion-vis-pro-helmet-bike-light?CAWELAID=120217890004279729&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=107744801264&CATCI=pla-452552812442&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_1223670001%7C92700053575966314%7CTOF%7C71700000066691934&gclid=CjwKCAjwoP6LBhBlEiwAvCcthGg3jWCYWVLhm9zqQJU1uuswTP8GbJEG9Zvc-L_d-nzj7MeK5LOgExoCWOYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Light & Motion Vis Pro Helmet Bike Light | REI Co-op Creating a full circle of protective visibility while you ride, the …

+1 for the knog pwr range. I’ve got a road attached underneath my head unit, battery lasts ages for the size (3350wh) and you can charge up your phone or head unit if you’re in dire straits. If you’re interested in a helmet mounted light, Gloworm from NZ makes really good compact units with an exte…

A few thoughts here: Where are you mounting it? Bigger headlights with “single-unit” design with the battery on board bounce more than the split unit setups. MTB/gravel needs more light spread than road. Both road and MTB need throw. Something that’s a lot brighter on center, will just make it imp…

Light and Motion make several bar and helmet mounted all-in-one 1000 lumen light options. I have a couple. One on the bars, one on the helmet. All you need for road riding and not crazy expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Urban-1000-Trooper-Rechargeable-Light/dp/B07C1NV5CZ/ref=asc_df_B07C1NV5CZ/?t…

I’ve got a knog power road and love it, super bright and mounts under the bars to keep things neat.
