Riding at night is challenging. From poorly lit roads to off-road rides on the trails, it’s crucial to be prepared for rides in the dark. Aside from the obvious lack of visibility, you’re also dealing with obstacles and the elements, along with anyone else who shares the road or trails with cyclists.
Finding the best bike light for night riding is essential for your safety, and for the safety of others. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light. If you ride in the pitch dark or need a brighter light for the trails, a high output light could be your best bet. However, brighter lights often require more battery power, and you may find yourself recharging the light more frequently than you would a dimmer light.
