Bike lights

[den07]

Hi! I'm looking for any suggestions on rear and front bike lights. I found a brand called Nightprovision, maybe you can give me feedback on them or suggestion on any other brand I could purchase.

I think you are always safe going with any major brand. Compared to the past, the lights now are amazing at every level. I've never heard of that brand. Different brands have different strong points if you are looking for something particular.

Great question , maybe you could check the thread you started on another forum with the same username asking the same question about the same brand? What an amazing coincidence!

You might check out a brand called Spam.

Dinotte makes the best rear lights. No one else is close. If safety is your goal, get one of these: http://store.dinottelighting.com/201...tery-p111.aspx

Now, since the Dinotte is expensive ($170.10) get this headlight off Amazon. I have two of them I use and they are blindingly bright, have several levels and flashing settings, and good battery life and easy USB recharge (plus helmet mount included): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9CSXDC...ing=UTF8&psc=1

Depends on what you want to use the lights / bike for. I do not ride at night so I use a white blinky for the front (from Backburn) and Bontrager Flare R for the rear.

If you are looking for night time lights....I cannot help.

Before you run out and buy a light you need to get some idea of how well the light works for the money you want to spend, and there are several internet sites that allow you to compare various models of lights so you can see the relative brightness of the models you want to compare against. So see these, keep in mind that what you will be looking at does not in anyway reflect how the light will look to you in real life with real eyes, but it gives you a very good idea of how they compare against others:

This is easy to operate, simply select a light from both sides and slide the slider thing back and forth to see how they look; https://road.cc/content/buyers-guide...lus-how-choose

This site you have to drag a light you want to see in action into a box and then drag another light into the other box; https://www.tredz.co.uk/lights-comparison-test

Select a light from each side of the center photgraph to compare models; https://www.bikelightdatabase.com/be...ght%5D=blaze2w

This one you have to scan down through the photos to compare; https://www.modernbike.com/bicycle-l...mparison-guide

These should give you a pretty good idea of what's going on. You will find lights with higher reported lumens to be dimmer than others with lower lumens, and that is true, that does happen, so look over the pics carefully and find one you think offers the best amount of light for the money you want to spend. I wish someone would do this for tail lights too.
