Bike Headlight Buyers Guide
| Whether you’re a roadie, a commuter or a diehard trail rider, if you ride your bike in the dark, you need a reliable, high-performance bike headlight. With the lumen output-to-dollar ratio dropping significantly in the past few years, there are now several affordable choices available from a variety of industry-leading manufacturers such as Cygolite, Lezyne,
Light & Motion and
NiteRider. Use this Bike Headlight Buyer’s Guide to compare the features and illumination capabilities of several top 100+ lumen models. Note: All photographs were taken under the same conditions, using identical camera placement and settings. Individual runtime ranges are based on continuous operation at each model’s highest and lowest settings. |
