Mojoman Posted April 19, 2018 Share Does anyone have a recommendation on a decent torch (handheld) that would double up as a bike light (i.e comes with handlebar/head fittings)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Boab Posted April 19, 2018 Share I have one of these and have been pretty impressed. One thing to watch is I did get the mount replaced as the fixing screw/bush, which locks the light mount to the bar mount, came loose and wore out. Apart from that, pretty good bike light. Good battery life and a pretty good torch too. https://www.buycycle.co.za/mountain-bike/xeccon-spear-900-front-light/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-ass Posted April 19, 2018 Share I have a Led Lenser MT10 torch. its 1000 lumen. and for R79 you get a handle bar mount.Torch costs R 1295 at Outdoor warehouse.Its perfect.... anything better in a cycling specific brand is R2k plus and no use as a regular torch.Also, the battery last for hours on full beam. the Garmin and others dont get 1:30hrs.Spare batteries are cheap by comparison. and at R79 for the mount I got 2, 1 on my MTB and 1 on road bike.Spare bike mount for any bike specific brand lights are R600 plus.

Agree with Led Lenser , but the L7 is lighter an cheaper than MT10 without the military spe http://www.awesometools.co.za/product/l7-torch/ R400 odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubes Posted April 20, 2018 Share Lenser MT10 is great. USB rechargeable and 1000 lumens. L7 is light excuse the pun but eats batteries and just over 100 lumens which isn't enough at least not for trail riding. Not sure what riding you do? I use the Ryder 650 lumen USB rechargeable light which mounts on the bar or helmet. Light and nice beam spread. Also use it as a handy home torch. http://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights It comes with mounts but I use this Lezyne helmet mount for it works real well when I use it on my helmet just clips in nice and snug- http://www.lezyne.com/product-led-acc-cmhelmetmtsnap.php#.WtosL4GxU0M I like Lenser and also have the xeo19R which is superb 2000 lumens costs more however. Mounts on helmet and bar and can be used as a handheld torch as the headlamp clips onto the battery to turn it into a bigger but not too big very bright and powerful hand held torch. http://www.awesometools.co.za/brands/led-lenser/headlamps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
