How to Choose the Headlamp for a Bicycle

A very important question should be answered in the very beginning of the article. In recent years, Chinese manufacturers saw great potential in the market of the cycling world, and so there were a lot of good suggestions.

This is a self-development, or clones headlights known brands. The quality of Chinese products fluctuate more or less acceptable level, and the prices correspond to the budget segment. Brand lamps are quite high build quality, more advanced electronic circuits, and the best components. BTW, you can select the bike lights accessories (e.g. the 300 lumens Cree headlamp) at Banggood for high quality and reasonable prices.

The first minus branded products - is often obsolete revision of LEDs in some products. The LED technology is very rapid progress, literally every six months there are new, more energy-efficient version of the diodes. The Chinese are producing goods in small batches, continuously incorporating into their products the latest diodes, while brands can implement a few years outdated equipment under the guise of news. Sometimes even as sold on the ancient headlights 3 watt diodes, that under current conditions is simply not serious. Given that the lights more often collected in the same China, based on the same diodes (and sometimes older), the price seems very detached from reality.

Who has not seen a really bright lights, he cannot imagine how far the stepped lighting technology. Modern LEDs reached high performance lumen / Watt that allows you to make it possible to bathe the space in front of the bike by 30-50 meters. I think that a lot of brightness does not happen - I like to ride at night, and a pillar of light, flashing all the bumps runs far ahead, making the ride as comfortable as the day.

To date, these requirements are met the 300 lumens Cree LED 5W flashlight, which, in general, and collected the majority of bicycle lights. I'm not ready to give specific recommendations, which is a variant of the variety of advice, sell on banggood.com, because the quality of the spread. Google for reviews from real people, and you will be rewarded.
