Headlight suggestions

[ny biker]

I like my Bontrager light. Very bright with multiple settings for a good price. The only drawback is that the battery only lasts about 80-90 minutes on the highest setting, but in blink mode I think it lasts long enough. Actually the second brightest setting is also quite bright and has better battery life.

I have a Cygo-lite Metro that I like a lot when it does not interfere with my wireless computer. Can only use with bike that has more expensive ant+ wireless. Seems to be a common issue with the higher powered lights and original wireless computers.

good point p2

the downside to led light circuitry is it can generate some electromagnetic interference, which can interfere with some wireless computers and other sensitive sending units. Try moving the computers sending unit farther down on the front fork or the led light farther away from it….or as you suggested use an ant+ or a newer wireless computer that shields led rfi or even a wired one. If you don’t want to get a newer computer then look for a light that has lower power draw led’s. they still work well for visibility and also gives better battery life. The higher the power the more interference with sensitive wireless computers.
