Super Bike Light Best in Sport

Over the years I've had several rechargeable lights with smaller and smaller remote control batteries. This light has a built-in rechargeable battery and is quite small for what it offers. The light is quite intense at high altitudes and should at least disturb oncoming drivers or cyclists. I expect mine to be kept low, which seems good enough as long as your night vision isn't obscured by other vehicles' lights. With the lights on, you have three modes of operation: City, Road, Trail. Each of these uses far and near beam selection behavior. You can walk there when the lights are on. The light intensity can also be selected in four stages. The light can be turned on by remembering your last settings and the lighting pattern for the three modes is cycled through with the on/off button. There's also a remote on/off button that works the same way. For recumbent riders, you can extend the range of the remote switch by using a male-to-female micro USB extension cable. You can find them on the internet. This setup is unique for recumbent riders as it allows you to mount the light and still have reasonable control over it. Obviously, using the brightest light sources will drain the battery faster. Double low level range (with both lights) lasts 8 hours, short range only high level 5 hours 45 minutes and high level only is the same. Both together is a maximum of 2 hours 30 minutes. There's an even brighter "Turbo" mode that uses either one or both lights together, giving a total of 1800 lumens. Overall, for me, this is the best bright bike light on the market with a wide range of users.
