As the days get shorter and the nights get longer you may be looking to upgrade your kit so you can keep riding later.
Here’s our guide for the best winter riding lights to land in stock this season!
From premium Exposure lights to versatile light sets from Lezyne, we’ve got something to suit every rider and every budget.
Here are some important points to consider when choosing your new light:
- Lumens (lm) are a unit of measurement that indicates how much visible illumination a light source emits and how bright it appears to the human eye. The higher the lumens the brighter the light will be. Higher-powered lights will have more lumens for after-dark trail rides, whereas a standard commuter light may have less.
- How to fit your light is also important to consider. Do you need a helmet light or a handlebar light? Does the light include all the brackets you need? Always check the product specifications to see what mounts are included and whether it’s suitable for your needs. Mounts can also be purchased separately if necessary.
- Runtime/Charge Time should also be considered. Are you planning on using a light for several hours or just a short commute? Always check the maximum runtime and charge time length before you make your decision.
