The Cree LED is capable of a maximum of 300 lumen output and with it’s adjustable beam angle is ideal for nighttime riding. Runtimes for the Cree only mode vary from 2 hours in the 300 lumen mode to 46:45 hr:min when in daytime flash. When using VLS, the output can also drop down to 20 lumen with a 156 hr runtime. We were impressed with the beam pattern of the cool Cree LED as it has a uniform and wide shape that illuminates the road. Although we still recommend riding with 1000 or more lumen for night time riding, the Cree mode works well for urban riding or shorter trips on dark bike trails. The output and beam pattern is comparable to similar 400 lumen lights such as the Magicshine Allty 400 or the Topeak Headlux. There are hundreds upon hundreds of brands in bicycling. From budget to billionaire worthy, the range in prices can vary significantly. This is a very simple but very important question. You may have heard the old adage ‘all the gear and no idea’. This concept is very much applicable to new riders that want to make sure that they have everything they need before their first trip on the pedals. The first thing to think about is what you are planning to do. You need a light that will go the distance but there are different considerations for commuting vs adventuring. If you are commuting then you need a light to last for your commute but you might want to cover more than one trip. Sure, you could charge between the morning and evening ride but are you going to want to deal with that? What about charging every night, is that something you want to think about? Even if your commute is short, you might want to get a set of lights that has enough battery for more than one day. It's relatively easy with a light to be seen but if you need to see you are going to need to really study the specs.The Lezyne KTV Drive Pro+ rear light is the option when you want an inexpensive light with a lot of power. The price is outstanding and there's all-day performance with a burn time of 10-hours and 30-minutes even at the max 150-lumen day flash setting. Mounting is a wide and simple rubber strap that you can easily stretch around even the deepest aero seatpost. When it’s time to charge the light, you’ll get a warning based on the small status light that turns on during the hold to turn-on procedure. If needed, charging happens with an integrated USB charging tongue that needs no cord. Of course no cord needed does also mean you have to remove the light to charge it. Although Lezyne doesn’t splurge on fancy features, the Lezyne KTV Drive Pro+ rear light is great for those who want maximum lumens for not a lot of money. VARIABLE LUMEN SYSTEM (VLS): This is a feature Moon Sport has incorporated into most of their lights and allows you to adjust the output of each mode independently. Once activated, the light ramps up from minimum to maximum power for that mode (note it flashes at each extreme to indicate a max/min has been reached) slowly until you select the desired level. The chosen output value overrides the factory defaults allowing for full customization. Although it’s a cool feature to see, the factory defaults will likely be sufficient for most riders. Maximum lumen output of 400 lumens enables you to see far into the distance even on the darkest of nights. The first thing is material. Looking at what Moon MX GPS Mount Front Light is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation. An adjustable beam angle includes a spot and a broader light which is ideal for lighting up the road ahead and to be seen by. The mount on the top is compatible with either a Garmin or Wahoo GPS device so that the handlebar is kept clutter free.

If you want big power, or long runtimes, then the MagicShine RN3000 is an excellent budget option to get the job done. The heart of the light is a 10,000 mAh battery and it's from this foundation that everything builds. Using the massive battery, you can power all the way up for a 3000-lumen option that will cover you in even the most demanding trail situations. Alternatively, you can power down the light and extend the runtime. 750 lumens is enough to ride comfortably at speed even without street lights and at that power, the RN3000 will run for thirteen and a half hours. You might even consider this light as a commuter option because of how infrequently you'll need to think about charging it. Knowing that the USB-C charge port can also charge a phone in an emergency is a nice bonus feature. The only downside is a slightly odd control scheme. There are two bulbs on the light and for some reason you can choose to run either one or the other or both. Using both gives a better light shape and longer burn times but since the option is there, changing modes means stepping through more options. It's a small annoyance given the price and features but it is worth mentioning.

So the first aspect of price that we’re going to look at is the price of Moon MX GPS Mount Front Light. When it comes to Lights products such as Moon MX GPS Mount Front Bike Light, it’s essential to consider quality in addition to price. While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest option available, low-quality Moon MX GPS Mount Front Bike Light can actually end up costing you more in the long run.

Short Press: turns light on (light off) / switch between output options for current mode (light on). If you need a light to see where you are going, it's going to need a lot more thought. The mount has to be secure enough that it doesn't bounce. You need a bright enough light that you can see details in the road at the speed you will be moving. Then the final consideration is how long the battery will last. How bright should a bike light be? This is the first place you need to start your journey for the right light. At one point in my life, I spent a lot of time riding through the streets of Los Angeles at relatively low speeds. I had no issue seeing where I was going and I just needed drivers to see me. In that situation, my considerations were all about quality reflectors and mounting. The lights will be inexpensive and don't need to be that bright. Look for a reflector design that amplifies the light for visibility at a distance and look for a mount that is secure enough that you don't lose lights.Our advice is to take your time studying factors like the reputation of the brand, the materials used to manufacture the product and also comparing it to other products of a similar price in the Lights category. Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Lights. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Moon MX GPS Mount Front Light. In the COB only mode, the MX can put out 100 lumens of warm output. This mode should be treated as a “been seen” mode only as it’s not bright enough to illuminate the road. Instead, it’s ideal for daytime riding as the wide COB strip can ensure other riders or cars see you. Runtimes vary from 6:00 to 59:30 hr:min when in the 100 lumen constant mode and day flash setting respectively. We found the flash modes of the COB mode to be particularly useful for daytime riding as it keeps you visible without draining the battery. Note Moon Sport has recessed the COB into the housing which limits the visibility compared to the wrap-around design of the Fabric Lumaray. THE VERDICT Of course, this doesn’t mean buy the most expensive items, but it does mean to think about if the price tag has more to do with the bragging rights than the actual quality of the product.
