With summer’s long days beginning to wane, and the local shops exhorting everyone to bring lights on their evening rides now, it’s high time you sorted back through whatever drawer you threw yours in, in the spring. Ah, yes. Which charger goes with which light? Does this one still work? How, actually, do you turn this one off?

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.

Robot, I have this light and it rides on my bars. It seems to have a wider beam than the Lezyne that does time on my helmet. What is the location of yours?

My go to light is the NightRider Lumina 1000 Boost. This is a 1000 lumen light with six run modes, the most important of which, in my opinion, are the high and medium modes, which will give you 1:30 and 3:30 respectively, though once I’m on the bike my sense of time distorts anyway. It’s a good idea to bring back up lights, because the ride gets much slower and less fun when you start to lose illumination.

Normally, the Lumina 1000 Boost is $104.99, but it’s actually on sale, right now, from NightRider for $79.99 and THAT is an outstanding value.

The other things that matter to me about this light are that it’s USB rechargeable (2:30 to 5:00), which means I can run it in the morning, charge it at work, then run it again on the way home. Also, the clamp is strong enough that it doesn’t move while I’m riding. There’s nothing worse than hitting something unexpectedly and then also losing your vision.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

The NightRider Lumina 1000 Boost has flashing modes, but I don’t know why. I’m not trying to give oncoming drivers seizures. Usually.

Doc, mine is bar mounted. I tend not to run a helmet light. It leads to blinding my companions. Also, I like the focus of just having the one illuminated path.

I tend to run two headlights when I’m riding trails, because I like to have a short beam and a long beam, a super bright one for the long view and a less powerful light for the near view, and that works really well for me. When riding with friends, the lights will overlap and that helps everyone out.
