Recently, I bought a Nitecore HU2000 for my electric scooter to replacement the stock headlight (it's really, really bad). The HU2000 works great, but, when I'm doing 50mph at night, I need more center throw to reach out and see potholes or obstacles.

Can you recommend some lights that would fit in a handlebar mount (10-35mm/0.4-1.38in diameter) that can be used on a high setting continuously without stepping down, and that can be used with a USB-C or magnetic charger cord?

I believe my Olight Arkfeld Pro will do it with the magnetic charger, and I think the Nitecore EDC35 should do it with its USB-C charging port, but, there has to be more - and better - options... and those will greater lumens (I'm hoping for 1700-2000+ lumens) without being a light that looks like it's used by a security guard at night. I haven't really branched out into other brands other than Olight and Nitecore because it's already so hard to determine runtimes and compatibility.

I wish more manufacturers would make lights capable of being used while charging. I was really interested in the Olight Seeker Pro 4, but the holster dims it down to 600 lumens while in the holster, and it only achieves 4000+ lumens for like just a few minutes I believe.

Lastly, a warmer tone would be optimal... less than 5000K.

Thanks for your time and advice in advance.

P.S. If you know of a great way to mount a headlight to a handlebar, please share... a quick-release would be ideal.
