The new best headlight

[Tugwell Gibson]

How many cells?

4 cells in a pack. And unless i made a mistake on the switch over, the poor performing one did 2 hours as well. Wheras before it was an hourmor less.

Doesnt really matter now doese it? You have a spare in your pocket so can go out in the dark with complete confidence..

Indeed. Makes it a very good bargain for 18 quid.

Well my "5000lm" light has finally arrived.
It's this one.

I would say it's a little bit brighter but not much more than this light.

And this light is totally rubbish. Heavy and dim.

Best rear light has to be Cycliq Fly6 inc camera, filming is on a continuous loop.

The cradle stays on all the time and the light slides on/off when required. Charges in any USB without a cable and doubles as a brilliant (hoho) little torch too. I just bought a helmet variant too

The best one is a legally approved one (just in case you are involved in a crash) and from my experience at speed you need at least 70 lux. Lux are the number of lumens mer square meter on the road a more significant value than pure lumen output.

I like a couple on the front but unfortunately that is illegal, you can have several tail lights however. So my strategy is to have the front lights grouped together so that I can claim it is a single beam. If you have a 70 lux and a 40 lux headlight (as I do) the sum of the lights is 110 lux which is as much or more light than your average moped. I am comfortable at 60 km/h in the pitch black countryside.

The pair below wired directly into your battery with a on/off toggle switch, total cost of £18.

I've just got one of these - hard to beat for £2.70 in my opinion:

That good I'm thinking about buying a second one too!
