cadenceblur Posted April 6, 2017 Share Hi Guys Can anyone recommend a good USB powered light? Will mostly be used as a helmet light in addition to handlebar.Beam pattern therefore needs to be quite focused - with less flood.Currently have a magic light option, but the battery and cable is a bit of a pain at times.Minimum lumens - 600.Ideally locally available as well.Price range -no more than a R1000 if possible.

Lance Roberts Posted April 6, 2017 Share Sorry, don't mean to hijack your thread.I'm also looking at usb lights as an option, what amount of lumens would be needed for a mountain bike to be used in bushy single trail type of riding early in the morning when it is still quite dark? The winter darkness is not quite there yet, but I'm just doing some forward planning. Edited April 6, 2017 by Lance Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted April 6, 2017 Share I ride with a light that's about 1200 lumen on handlebar - with more a flood pattern and a 600 lumen (more focussed pattern / spot) on helmet - that has always worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
