The more you pay, the more lumens you get, but lumens burn up charge, meaning that if you want to run a high-lumen light for a long period of time it will need a big battery. He puts all the lights through their paces in our specially designed tests to help us find the best bike lights. The mounting is via a Silicone band, which accommodates seatposts of varying depths, as well as making it easy to swap between bikes. Alternatively, 45 hours on a single charge will keep most commuter users satisfied without charge for well over a week.

This Bicycle Light Constructed with aluminium alloy material and Anodized Finish,Make it with strong impact resistance and good heat dissipation. You just cycle through the five modes by short-pressing the on/off button and it’s the standard long press for on and off. If you are unable to complete the payment please free phone our office on 0800 689 1681, we will be more than happy to assist you. 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).The UK government states that a steady light is recommended at the front when the cycle is used in areas without good street lighting. However, these should be in addition to those on the bike, and not your only source of illumination. However, if you’re in the market for an all-in-one safety solution, incorporating camera, radar and light in one small package, this may very well be the answer.

This means you can cycle through different settings without having to dismount – a feature we’d hate to live without now.If you can find it on a discount, it’s a solid light for commuting, but at full RRP there are better options. 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.

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. Were it not for the Magicshine SEEMEE300 with its longer battery life - and also its floor-directed beam for full 360 degree visibility, the Ravemen would be top of this grouptest overall. A bit of a boring post but I'm in the market for some real lights for commuting and riding around London.Make sure that the light is free from any obstructions such as saddlebags, panniers, or even loose clothing that you might be wearing.
