Do you want a front light To Be Seen<\/strong>, a daytime running light to make you more visible to other cyclists, walkers and motorists. These lights are ideal for cycling in daylight and in well lit areas. Brightness can be anything from 50-200 lumens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Or do you want a light To See<\/strong>, to see where you are going. These lights can be anything from 200 – 2000 lumens<\/strong>, they will make you more visible but also enable you to see where you are going. Ideal for unlit areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brightness:<\/strong> A light’s brightness is often measures in ‘lumens’. This is the power output from the source of the light. The range of lumens available is huge and can range from about 5 to 150 lumens for rear lights, and from 10 up to around 2000 for front lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Light modes<\/strong>: Almost all lights will come with several light modes. These usually range from constant to strobe to various other flashing modes, and will help to save your battery. Some also let you alter the brightness, which is helpful if you’re travelling between well-lit and rural areas. The Knog blinder road is one of the best examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Waterproof (IP rating)<\/strong>: All good quality lights are waterproof but it is worth checking before you buy. Cheaper lights may not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mounting Options:<\/strong> Front and rear bicycle lights feature a variety of different mounting styles and options. The two most common variants are strap\/band mounts and clamp mounts. Most rechargeable lights use a strap or band mounting mechanism which you can easily wrap around your seat post or handlebar, often without the need for tools. These are designed to be easy to remove to recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other Light Options:<\/strong> As well as standard good quality lights there are also lights that offer something a little different.
