Product Information

Don’t be fooled into thinking that the lumen rating of a bike light is the only thing that matters, though. A super-bright light that only has enough battery power to put out that headline figure for half an hour isn’t likely to be particularly useful, especially if you’ll need to use the most powerful setting for extended periods.

We send the most popular front bike lights and rear bike lights away with one of our researchers. He's a keen cyclist, veteran of multiple 100 mile rides, a 200 mile ride, and recently completed an Everesting (other cycling enthusiasts will understand that last reference). If you’re looking for a set of bike lights for gravel riding there are several things to keep in mind. For your rear light, the flash function is ideal. But if you’re a bike commuter, with both front and rear lights also consider how effective the lamp is in terms of side lighting, as this will make you more visible from more angles and help avoid the "sorry, I didn't see you" excuse from a turning vehicle. Flashing pulse settings tend to use less light than a steady beam, and they are great for being seen in the daytime. On this list, the Garmin Variahas extremely impressive battery life and burn time. The majority of bike lights in our lineup offer convenient USB charging so you’ll have fewer excuses not to stay safe and stay visible. Our top choices have longer run times and faster charging times; (photo/Miya Tsudome) Price It's worth looking at the quotes runtimes in different modes when selecting a light.

With the super bright beam for a light which is nominally only 1,000 lumens, I was perfectly happy putting in hard efforts when riding on the darkest roads with this light. I was able to see far enough ahead and with enough detail to push up to Threshold / Zone 4 and even seated VO2 Max / Zone 5 efforts. The only question is whether the performance at this price is too good to be true - I’d hesitate to give it full marks until the Allty1000 has proved itself in a full season of riding through the cold, wind and rain. Run times in steady modes, just like the outputs, have gone up from those on the 2019 light. The flashing modes have paid the price here, though – while their outputs stay the say, their runtimes have dropped a little. The Trace and TraceR lights are the smallest and most featherweight units Exposure produces and at first glance it's hard to imagine the sort of performance they are capable of. But just like David against Goliath, size isn't everything.

So what’s the verdict on the high-tech Varia? It definitely improves situational awareness and could potentially save your life. We’d like to see widespread support for the Varia on the most popular cycling computer platforms. In this regard, we feel that the Varia is just a little bit ahead of its time. We’re willing to bet that the field of competitors will grow substantially in the next couple of years, and the Varia will be the unit to beat. Mountain bikers need to be able to see obstacles long before they reach them. Unlike most road cycling, mountain biking involves sharp turns and lots of major obstacles. The one downside of this fixing is the slightly odd angles it can produce on the rear, and a large amount of space the front lighting bar can take up when in its horizontal position. This super bright 1,000 lumen light is the benchmark and aspiration of other lights. Its overpowering 1,000 lumen output is certified using Labsphere'sFor example, an incandescent light bulb will emit around 15 lumens per watt while a fluorescent lamp can reach up to 100 lumens per watt. New bikes are sold with reflectors (and you can read in detail about the legal requirements relating to reflectors here) but regardless - if you're riding at night, using a proper set of bike lights is really an essential.
