Lights for the dark mornings

[splat]

These are worth looking at (even when they're not on sale!)

Hi,

I’ve narrowed down my first light options to four, based on our previous discussion. Could you share your thoughts on these?

I have the Fluir light and it is very bright and lasts. Cannot fault it.
Previously I had a similar light to the Ryder concept , not as bright and battery don't lasts as long as the fluir. Plus point is battery can be switched easily.

If I must buy again 1st choice would be the extreme trail, then Fluir then Ryder Concept. Rhe extreme trail just looks lekker.

Hope it helps

Thread revival ...

 

Front light - flashing light to be seen.

 

 

QUESTION .... Any ideas for an easthetic installation.  Can be a smaller light, for 3 to 4 hours on strobe mode.

 

 

 

Rear .... Varia 👍

These are great: https://www.ravemen.com/FR/FR160.html

They are well made and completely hidden under a Garmin out front mount provided it has the quarter-turn adapter underneath. The larger FR300 can be used to charge other devices.

Magicshine SF900. Comes with Gopro mount to fit under a Garmin mount, will last forever on flash mode, and can be used to see where you're going up to about 40km/h.

Bought this recently from Solomons in Woodmead (Joeys for your CT lot)

It just needs the 1/4 turn go pro mount and you can lock it under the Garmin outmount, the rest of the fittings come in the box, USB c cable included

Im very happy with it. Although, I wouldnt mount it onto a MTB that goes technical. I think the added weight on the garmin outmount will cause the mount to fail. If you want to use it for hooding, then it'll be perfect for that

I like this idea. I must keep it in mind

Looks like a very nice option 👍

[ChrisF]

I looked at so many options ...

 

Happy with this -

 

 

 

Forza bracket from CWC/CL.

 

GoPro adaptor and Bontrager light from Best Bikes.

 

8 hour run time on day flash is more than enough for my use.

 

 

Cant wait to see this on the bike ....

Happy with the result 

 

 

Also a Forza bracket, from CWC / CL
