When I first got into cycling, I didn’t think too carefully about bike lights. My basic thought on the subject was that the brighter the light the better, and the best bike light was the one that could withstand a British winter whilst being reasonably kind to my wallet. And really, for many years, that was as far as it went with me and bike lights.
Part of the problem, if I am honest, is that the world of cycling illumination is complex to navigate. Between the dizzying marketing speak, the physics crossovers and the do-it-all app connection, it’s not always easy to cut through the noise to figure out exactly what will suit you and your style of riding.
