Bike front headlight recommendation?
Since it’s almost Black Friday, I’m thinking about getting a new front headlight. I currently use a Cygolite Epsilon 850 that’s 9 years old (battery and circuit board replaced in the last 18 months).
I need something brighter for fast road biking in the dark on poorly it streets so I can see potholes. I think my night vision is getting worse with age. My requirements: - really bright light for road riding. High mode needs to last at least 90 minutes. Longer is better - good daytime flash mode. I use a headlight every time I ride. - fits a GoPro mount upside down under my Garmin - lightweight - waterproof - easily removable for charging - <$100 unless there’s a strong reason to spend more. The Knog Blinder 1300 has good reviews and is on sale for $75. |

I’m commuting with the Lumina Micro 900 that I quite like. It mounts under my Karoo2 on a mount as you describe.

Outbound lighting Detour if used for road. It is worth the extra money. End of thread. It has a cutoff exactly like a car headlight so you don't blind other road users, be it other cyclists, cars, walkers, etc. Customer service is amazing. They stand by their product 100%. 'Merican designed and made. |

I'm currently using Lezyne headlights. Brightness range from 500-2400 Lumens.
My night riding is usually fairly lit streets so the 600 Lumen works for me. Also works well as a daytime flash.
