What makes a good light?
• Highly visible output, both head-on and angled, so that people can see you.
• Excellent water resistance.
• Durability for regular use and the occasional tumble.
• Ease of operation and not too many modes to scroll through.
• Ease of mounting and removing
• Convenience in charging or changing the batteries.
• Compact nature so you can take it with you when you’re parked on the street.
Did you know?
• Flashing lights are more visible than steady lights. Steady lights used to see by should be supplemented with flashing lights so that others see you.
• As batteries run down many lights become less visible. Clever lights tell you when the battery is low.
• Bike riders are most effectively seen when their lights are at handlebar height for front and rear lights.
• We don’t recommend helmet-mounted lights because they dazzle other riders.
• Beware of high-powered lights blinding other riders and road users; there’s a fine line between a strong light and being anti-social.
