One on my handlebar, one on my helmet so I can point it at inattentive drivers/pedestrians. They are 200 lumens each. I don't like really bright lights becuase your eyes adjust and stuff out of the beam range becuase pure black. Also, your tail light does not need to be visible to airliners, strobing like the 80's. They can be blinding too, particularly in bike lanes waiting for lights. |
This, I have to be honest I prefer to ride with a super dim front light/ none at all, just enough for others to know I'm there. Most of my ride is in fish creek and you can see further in the dark than you can with a light.
At the very least make sure your light is pointed downwards and not level with oncoming riders eyes
