What I don’t like is the tiny batteries on many of these lights. I don’t need some crazy amount of light, but I do need the ‘decent level of light’ to last my entire ride, with a margin of safety.
Wh can’t we get a light with ~1200 lumen with a good beam pattern, but a 4 hour run time? Instead, they just keep putting brighter and brighter LEDs in there.
Considering that most batteries perform far worse in the cold, and that my night riding happens in the winter, when it is below (often far below) freezing, ad I have a hard time abandoning separate battery and light set ups.
