Razors Edge ★ Posted August 26, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 26, 2020 And interesting one I hadn't seen before by Knog is the Cobber which gives a wider angle of display so you get some additional side visibility which can be nice to have! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Come Lately Name Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted August 26, 2020 All good answers and potential candidates, but the one in the picture appears white on the sides, no? The Cygolite is black on the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted August 26, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2020 Garneaux and Giant also make lights in this format. https://garneau.com/ca_en/lux-front-light-1493103-std-o-s-775504955773 https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/numenplus-spark-16-led-usb-headlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted August 27, 2020 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2020 Ryan and I went to the LBS last night to pick out a new brain bucket for him for this birthday. The helmet he chose has removable magnetic light mounts, so we hit the light section and while there I saw this: Serfas USLA-8 Orion Blast Headlight It may well be your mystery light.

I would think that it would be a BE SEEN light more than anything else. The BLAST feature in an alarm to let you know when the battery is low. I see that form factor as being hard to get good optics out of. For $40 not a huge deal, but if was spending $100 I would head over to Nite Rider and buy a Lumina 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NOT a headlight for night riding. It is a DRL or a blinky light, and in a horrible pinch, it with your cell phone could work to light the way at a very slow speed.

If I wanted nighttime lighting, I already have a Light & Motion HID one that you can get a TAN from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted nighttime lighting, I already have a Light & Motion HID one that you can get a TAN from. I would make sure it has a good strobe mode. Ryan and I were driving to his school recenlty and we saw two riders coming at us, both with lights. The flashing one was much more visisble than the solid one. Look at the Bontrager ION. They are small, have a wide variety of mounts and get great reviews. I turned one on at the bike shop yesterday and it was BRIGHT and flashy.

I've read good things. I already have an older Bontrager taillight, that I like, so previous experience is good.. Just looking for more lights, for more bikes.
