Light - Rechargeable battery - Cygolite Metro Plus 650 USB rechargeable
Cygolite Metro Plus 650 USB.
A fantastic mini bike light, unique* features, super incredible value, and Made in the USA. This 650 lumen light is brighter than you need.
Here's a fair assessment of lighting needs, in lumens:
200: In town with cars and street lights. It's not even marginal, it's PLENTY.
350: Unlit familiar roads or trails at speeds under 20mph.
650: Faster than 21 mph in the pitch dark on unfamiliar roads.
But to sell lights to riders who are techies and have an unhealthy fear of buying the light that doesn't get FIVE STARS with over a thousand reviews, light makers have to pack lights with features that tend to complicate use. There's no way around this. Nobody will make a light that's simply ON, LOW, HIGH, OFF.
It's the best light of its kind in the solar system. Tiny, powerful, rechargeable, long lasting, and mounts easier anywhere than any light ever made. George Cygolite is a %#@$! genius.
If you're smart you'll have several. At least one bike should have two (one a fully-charged backup, or as a giveaway to a poor cyclist commuting home at night without a light. Make sure you give him or her the USB cord, too. It comes with it.)
Like all such lights except the German ones, it has too many modes. Oh well...it's still super.
