In addition, whilst it claims to come with a helmet mount, we'd suggest it comes with a helmet mount adapter which doesn't provide all you'd need to fit the light to your lid. Despite being used on the fork leg for riding LEJOG, we had no issues with the light remaining steadfastly in place. Despite its diminutive size, it can still put out up to 90 lumens - although only on the flashing setting. That means it’s time to dust the mudguards off, wrestle those gatorskins back onto your rims, and, perhaps most importantly of all, invest in a quality bike light to guide you safely through the darkness.
Legally, bike lights may be steady or flashing, or a mixture – for example, steady at the front and flashing at the rear.

The mount is not as good at the Cateye products but I solved that by squeezing some superglue between it and the handlebar. It’s still generally a case of the brighter the better, but you also need to consider other qualities that will make your life easier.We normally add postage to your invoice, if this is the case all deliveries are processed within a 5 day time frame for parcels and 10 day time frame for pallets and Northern Ireland and Ireland. This means you can cycle through different settings without having to dismount – a feature we’d hate to live without now. PDW’s Lars Rover Power extends its beam further than Trek’s Commuter Pro RT, but for me it doesn’t ‘fill’ the road ahead quite as well. Exposure is the leading name in the game when it comes to high-end bike lights, and the six pack mk12 is the biggest and brightest in the brand’s off-road offering.
Features One Touch Quick Release Button, press and slide the light out without removing the whole mounting bracket, mount and detach in just seconds without tools! Since modern LEDs require far less energy, expressing their power in watts — which tells you how much energy they consume rather than how much light they produce — is redundant. One of the most enduring features of Exposure lights, away from the excellent performance of the beams, is their longevity. The unit can detect vehicles from around 150m behind, alerting you with a bleep as well as a visual change to the side bar on your display, then, as the car approaches you, an icon moves up the side bar until it is near the top of the screen.It can illuminate clearly and evenly from the tires to where your eyes can reach and allows you to clearly see the road in front of you. As for the build quality of the main body, it is robust, and water and grit protection is excellent. In the real world, there’s only one way to test a bike light properly: by getting out there and pedalling through the darkness. The beam is bright and the lens provides great side illumination - the light has lumens to play with after all. For a commuter light, rather than one for post-work training rides or long-distance winter epics, this is perfectly sufficient.
This light is really the star performer on test - it’s the least expensive by quite a way, super bright and nicely designed. Also looking for a rear light mount for a helmet like the decathlon ones where they have a built in clip.The mounting system is one the best I’ve ever used, with a thick silicone band that holds the light firmly in place (and on a variety of seatpost depths). Always liked the cat eye mount, and wanted a self contained light for quite long, sometimes unlit, commutes. There’s an interesting battle between which is brightest out of the Magicshine Allty1000 and the Exposure Strada Mk11 RS.
And with good reason, it’s harder to track the motion of a vehicle/person when there isn’t a fixed source of light. If you need to make any adjustments to your lighting mounts or bracket, our comprehensive range of quality cycle components, spares and accessories replacements will get you back out cycling should anything break. Both Bike light front and rear can charge from a mobile phone charger, computer, power bank or any device with a USB port.The weights in our reviews are often a little higher than claimed by the manufacturer because we include the rubber or plastic strap that you use to attach the light to the bike, in our measurement. As you have an E-bike it seems a shame not to tap into that battery, you'll get a light better than almost everything* run off dedicated batteries. The CatEye Sync range is the next step in bike lights where up to seven units are connected together wirelessly so that when one is switched on, the others light up too. The lights are small, easy to attach and detach, and feature a handy charging system that allows them to be connected directly to a USB plug. You can also use the light with a clip, which makes it possible to attach to the light loop of a saddle bag or similar.
