Bicycle Lights
Being seen matters as much as seeing. This collection covers front bike lights bright enough for unlit roads and trails, anti-glare commuter headlights designed not to blind oncoming traffic, handlebar mounts, and headlamps that double as helmet lights. All models are USB rechargeable, so there are no disposable cells to run out mid-ride.
How to choose a bike light
-
Seeing vs being seen. Unlit roads and trails need 800 lumens or more. Lit urban streets need a bright, wide, attention-grabbing light rather than raw output.
-
Cut-off beam. Anti-glare models such as the TrustFire D3R shape the beam so it lights the road without dazzling drivers and other riders.
-
Mounting. Confirm your handlebar diameter. The TrustFire HE05 handlebar mount fits most road and MTB bars.
-
Runtime at your real setting. Quoted runtimes are usually for the lowest mode. Check the figure for the mode you will actually ride on.
Bike light questions
How many lumens do I need for road cycling?
For lit streets, 200 to 400 lumens is enough to be seen and to spot potholes. For unlit lanes and off-road, 800 to 1,500 lumens is the realistic range.
Is a flashing or steady light better?
Steady light lets drivers judge your distance and speed; flashing light is more attention-grabbing. Many riders run a steady front light and a flashing rear.
Will a bright bike light dazzle oncoming traffic?
An unshaped high-output beam will. Look for a light with a horizontal cut-off, or angle the beam down so the hotspot lands on the road ahead of you.
