Hi 'burners...
2020 is the year of me getting back into cycle commuting regularly, and I'd like to get a quality front light. The commute is 20km each way, 90% shared or cycle paths with a lot of that unlit and often not near roads.
I have a couple of Light & Motion lights from my 24hr racing days, but they run separate batteries which need to be attached somewhere, so look a bit untidy and require specific chargers. Ideally I'd like to be able to charge at home or work.
So what's a kickass front light with integrated battery, usb charging, good lumens etc..
Ideally I'd like a light where I can easily flick between high and low beams so I don't blind oncoming riders. I've seen that some come with remote switches, not sure how well these work in practice.
No specific budget as yet, so throw ideas at me.
