May be tough to find something that mounts sub bars though.



Also like Exposure, though as you've already seen, they're pricey.

The Taz can use a GoPro mount to go below the bars. Actually, most L&M bike lights can (besides the Seca and funky little ones).

I'll recommend this combo from Bontrager.

1300 lumen front and flare rear for $110 is hard to beat. I have my headlight mounted on the bottom of my barfly like so. Bonus points because you can turn the lights on and off through your garmin or wahoo and also shows battery level on the head unit too. I have mine configured so the lights turn on once I start my garmin ride.

Without knowing your desired run time, this has mutliple modes including a few flashing modes and mounts easy to the bottom of k-edge/barfly mounts with the right bontrager->gopro adapter.

Here is the adapter:

It was a tough call because there are some good options to consider, but I got a good deal on one of the 900 lumen exposure stradas. The fact that it has nice mounts, a display that shows the remaining run time, and it isn’t made in China pushed me over the edge even though there are lights that are probably as good for half the price.
