As the days get shorter ‌and the nights draw in, having a good set of bike lights is essential for your safety and enjoyment‍ on the road or trail. ‌In this guide, we’ll go through the range of cycle lights on offer, some features to look out‍ for ⁤and the key differences between the models, so you⁢ can make the best choice ‍and keep those pedals turning all year round.

What To Look Out For?

Before you start browsing, it’s a good idea to understand your needs and⁤ the key features ‍to look out⁣ for​ in a new light. No matter if you are a road ‌rider or mountain biking, ⁤it’s essential to ​assess your needs and the typical light‍ conditions you ride in⁢ so you can purchase the right unit for you.

Power

A lights output is⁤ measured in ‘lumens’ ⁢– the higher the number, the more powerful the light is⁢ and in theory the more ⁢visibility it should create. Why is it not measured in watts like a standard​ house light, we hear you ask? Well, a watt measures energy usage and not necessarily​ the brightness it gives out, so a lumen is a better standard ‌of measurement to ensure you are getting ​the right light output for your needs.

Power is ​usually a greater consideration for the front light rather than the rear, as this⁣ needs to help you see ⁤what’s in front ⁤of you, but it’s always good ​to have a powerful ⁤rear light too so that you can clearly be seen.

Battery

An⁣ important aspect when buying a light ‍is how long it’s going to last – there’s nothing worse than running out of juice halfway ⁣through⁣ a ride and being left in total darkness. Therefore,⁢ the expected run time should be a big consideration when purchasing‌ a new light.

Make sure to check the advertised battery life aligns with your needs – running a continuous beam at full⁢ power takes way more energy than a reoccurring flash on a lower power output, so check the features or specification for the full run times in the different modes to make sure you know exactly what you are getting.

Mounts

Finally, the last thing to think about is where the light sits⁢ on the bike. In most⁤ cases, a light will be placed on the handlebars for front ‍and​ the ⁢seatpost for the rear light, although mountain bikers and commuters ⁢also like helmet-mounted options for greater visibility. No matter where its placed, it’s ⁣important the mount is both secure and easily removed, especially if you‍ commute or leave your bike locked up for periods of time.
