i need a new front light. something that will run for a long time hopefully.
dont want mega bright . only needs 1 bulb. 1000 lumens will be plenty.

May as well say "Joystick" before anyone else does :smile: . Get what you pay for (then again have they sorted out the stupid charge port cover yet?)

Strada by Exposure cureently on at £200 on CRC. I've just bought and seems solid (as the others).

If it’s for the fat Viking, you won’t need many lumens to keep you going. If it’s good conditions, you won’t need much light as the snow will reflect all the light and if it is snowing, you certainly don’t want a lot of light either. Win win situation!

A joystick mounted on the bars (or lower if possible as it’s easier to see if it snows) is a good an option as any paired with a decent head torch (something around 200l at a guess) will keep you going :-bd

If it’s for the UK, then most things by exposure will work (and ignore anything I said above if that’s the case :lol: )
