I've got a GloWorm X2/Alpha combo and I find that for most of the time I'm able to run them on the special dim setting which in theory would give me five days run time.
Pfft. Mine are 30000000000 lumen. The ad said so.I don't with my Lezyne. 3hrs at 1500l.
Lol. I know. I'm severely undergunned.Pfft. Mine are 30000000000 lumen. The ad said so.
Or perhaps it's just me that runs on a special dim setting *shrug.I've got a GloWorm X2/Alpha combo and I find that for most of the time I'm able to run them on the special dim setting which in theory would give me five days run time.

I haven't 24hr'd in so many years, can't say that I miss it at all. I do love night riding though and still get plenty of use from the lights during the winter and on the longer packing trips.When 24 hr racing does does not hurt enough
I've gone special dim when I've forgotten to charge them. Was OK on the road, wouldn't be keen to be on a trail thoI've got a GloWorm X2/Alpha combo and I find that for most of the time I'm able to run them on the special dim setting which in theory would give me five days run time.
Thanks. With zero experience I feel like I want all of the lights, but that reassures me that I'm not about to do something stupid (hopefully).The 1 light vs 2 lights is a personal preference.
There are people who prefer a really wide throw bar flood only. (takes a billion lumens)
I prefer a slightly flooded bar and a directional helmet light. (less lumens)
For the most part you will be fine in the middle of the pack of riders but you won’t be able to see around tight switch backs until you bars come around the corner a little. If you with other riders they can light up the trail for you.Going on my first night ride with a social group this Thursday. I'm familiar enough with the trails to find my way back to the carpark if something happens, but don't know every corner and rock etc. The trails we'll be on aren't difficult if you take it easy.
Is riding with just the one light, mounted on the bars, a waste of time or will I be fine at a social riding pace? I'm taking a spare commuter light and will carry a torch as well in case the cheap Chinese light loses most or all of its billion lumens so I can find my way back without holding up the group.
Anything else I need to think about to prep for it? Quietly shitting myself to be honest; the trails are fairly easy but night riding is a complete unknown to me.
If I enjoy, I'll grab something like a Cleankskin Duo for a helmet light for future rides.
They're a great light. I have the 1500 which are great because you have hook up an auxillary powerpack to them.speaking of lights the Ayups were so good ..... once, now I don't know whether they've faded or in comparison to other lights they just aren't bright enough on single track anymore.
So just got 2 of these Lezyne 1600 (even has app to configure light settings), after going for Chinese cheapies, I thought that's it get some quality lights for dark commute, single track and death ray at drivers who try and cross my path. funny thing is if I mount 2 leds and ride up a dark road cars pull over thinking I'm another car until I go past and see their wtf look.
