    What headlamp on protected 18650s?

    How about something like the Fenix Super Raptor https://heavylightstore.com/p98412/fenix-hl65r-superraptor-1400lm

    Lucifer S headlamp

    There is a new improved “S” model now (maybe a red LED option as well??) available to order as of August 2020. I have one on its way to the US now. As of that time it’s still not on their web site but it looks like the M6, has improved Cree XP-L2 LED, 4,500K, CRI70 only now, with higher output...

    Head Torch Help

    Lucifer lights. Their S model which is shown on the web site would fit the bill HOWEVER it is no longer in production and being replaced by a new and better version which should be available end of Julyish. These guys really know their stuff and for what I want and need (mountain running) it’s...

    Lightweight 21700 Powered Headlamps?

    https://www.action-led-lights.com/collections/batteries/products/gemini-4000mah-2-cell-batterySo maybe something to help you out I found this nice small 21700 battery pack on the Action LED mountain bike web site. You could pair it with one of their small lights and a headband. I’m going to try...

    Gemini Lights Xera 800 lumen single 18650 flashlight/bikelight

    Yeah, it's so new I haven't seen any reviews on MTBR where I spend way to much time. Probably better as a mtn. bike light vs road as there is no cutoff but still effective none the less. They already have a new improved mount for it that just came out. I can personally vouch for their standard...

    Gemini Lights Xera 800 lumen single 18650 flashlight/bikelight

    Didn't see anything here posted about this light so I thought people might be interested to have a look and see what they think. Before you scoff at the price look at the "what comes in the box" and it's not so bad + the excellent Panasonic 3100mAh battery and a charger...

    How bright is bright enough for a road bike?

    Didn't mention your exact budget but the new Lyzene Super Drive at 450 lumens is really nice and uses a standard 18650 battery. I've got one (mtn bike backup) and I'm thinking this would be just a great commuting light with a very nice beam pattern. Std. supplied battery ran for 1:36 on high for...

    Zebralight, good in practice?

    You might want to check into the Spark ST/SD series of headlamps is you're concerned about the center placement. Black Diamond Storm 100 lumens or even their Sprinter model runners rechargeable flood with 68 is dam bright and super lightweight. I'm also curious about the ZL off center question...

    Bring me up-to-date on serious bike lights

    Where are you located? I'm in Medfield MA but will be in Lincoln NH this weekend if you want to check out my XERA light (or the magic Shine) If you like the DiNotte I would pay the $50 difference and get the XML-3. Amazing power and easily bar mounted (or helmet even) Have a look over on MTBR...

    Bring me up-to-date on serious bike lights

    I'll second the DiNotte lights designed/built in NH. Great quality lights and great customer service. Night Rider makes nice lights (nice looking to) and has great customer support....and from reading till my eyes bleed research, to some extent needed it. I know this is the net where you read...

    Spark SD52 Mini Review

    Good question, I think that would be a good idea to be highly polished at least. Looking at my SD6 it appears there is enough material that a reflector could have been built into that little assy. Really looking forward to the accessory screw on piece.

    WTB: 5mm Headlamp, Rear Battery Pack, AA, Under $50...?

    They do make an accessory headband with top strap but more money again and maybe not exactly what you had in mind. http://www.foxfury.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=6&products_id=58

    Spark SD52 Mini Review

    Sparks response to my screw on reflector question. The screw-on reflector will be available when the final model of SD series is released, which is SD73. The replacable new reflector can narrow down the beam profile which provides some throw beam pattern like ST6 does. Sounds good to me as I...

    Magicshine MJ-870 & MJ-872 review :).

    872 seems to be having thermal issues and stepping down from full power without good air flow or in hotter temps. My advice is get the 856 version which is the same internally and specs but with a better cooling housing...

    Bike lights for city/path biker

    Here is a cool light that literally just came out and I'm currently running battery run times on. Takes standard Protected 18650 batteries, puts out 450 lumens on high, built in USB charging, has a flashing mode and comes with 2 mounts for different size bars...
