🚴 Urban 500 Bike Headlights by Light & Motion Review

I drive a lot at night and have had about 8 of these headlights in the last 10 years and they used to be the best and most reliable headlights out there. I've broken (due to wear and tear) and lost a few of these over the years and it hasn't been hard to replace them with the same ones. The old ones, where the lowest setting "pulses" between two brightness levels, had the best lights around, and I still have a few that work great. They were virtually indestructible and withstood years of daily…

Pulse mode might not be as noticeable as some other hard flashlights, but Pulse is less confusing when driving because you don't get the "stop-start"…

While not technically a 'cheat', I found I could use a little more light than 500 lumens. On the street (bike lanes) where there are streetlights, it works well. For portions of my ride that involve channel stretches…
