Flashlights and helmet lights beautiful prices - responsible company

After I bought my first lights I got hooked and now I have a collection of lights.
4 flashlights mounted in front, two mounted on my helmet, and 2 with headbands for front and back of helmet. Serious lighting. To compare, I spent $60 Canadian for Lezyne1000XL on sale. I paid $12 CAD each for 2 flashlight equivalent and $20 for bike light with headband which is extra good because it shines where I look, of course. So 6 flashlights to the front, plus one good headband light. Great specials remember to click all coupons and make sure they are in your checkout. Use coupons on sale items too sometimes. I bought this one for front helmet light. Great value. Almost all of their lights come with rechargeable cells. I've used them for about 1 year so far. This one has 18650 cell.

I hope you're using your helmet light somewhere in the woods, not on public roads... ;)

My front light is fixed, German DIN standard, mounted just above the wheel, and if I set its angle to shine (too) far forward, it can be blinding for the other cyclists or drivers.

My offroad bike uses a more high-beam light setup compared to my city bike.

Miloš first saw and warned me about the beam angle - I didn’t notice it to be blinding.
 
On the helmet I have 2 flashlights and 1 headlamp facing front, and 1 red headlamp facing back.
The front facing white lights all point downward onto the road and I don't point my face toward oncoming traffic.
The choice is to see where you're going to crash into a big pothole ahead or not see it coming.
Make it home OK or maybe 50/50.
I choose to see the potholes. That's why I have those lights and several bike lights to mount on the handlebars.

Do you desire to stop motor vehicles that have lights which shine in your eyes?
I don't look at oncoming traffic also because I don't want my eyes to react to their light.
I don't look so we're all good. Unless they wreck a tire in a pothole. That wouldn't be good for them.

That's right. I also have a headlight with a light-shadow border and it's set up precisely - I specifically asked my wife to drive at me and looked at how much the light was blinding...

This is only if the headlights are not configured correctly.
In our country, you will either be stopped by the highway patrol service with such a light, or the drivers themselves will "explain" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

The 4 flashlights mounted in front I have enclosed in a box attached to the handlebar stem and have a reflector made of coffee can aluminum freshness seal so the whole shines light down about 7 feet in front...much more down than car headlights are pointed and the reflector goes around the sides so it focuses the light just where I need it. My helmet lights usually point further forward and extra handlebar lights like the Lezyne1000XL are easily adaptable.

Not having a wife, I did what is much better for *bike* riding. I looked at my bike from standing in front at various distances.

Very good. I approve 👍

Now ask your friend to ride the same way, but with a helmet with a flashlight, and only slightly rotating his head up and down and left and right... You'll be surprised how much this kind of light hits your eyes.
And yes, I really like night trips, so I know what I'm talking about :)

I live in Toronto Canada. Bike riders here go through red lights, straight through or even diagonally, and on sidewalks, often on ebikes going without helmets carrying restaurant food and not infrequently riding with passenger sitting on the rear carrier.
Almost all are newcomers and the drivers seem to believe that a bike is to be ridden on the sidewalk and so shout at bike riders to get onto the sidewalk.
; I) MAYHEM.
Patrol ignores it all.

The $10 flashlights have focus ability.
That's why I love buying these things. My dog walking small flashlight easily lights up 100 meters ahead. Dog alerts and I then can pinpoint where a skunk is.

In Russia, at least in Moscow, they have finally begun to put things in order (according to the rules of the road) among cyclists. I am very happy about this. And quite often, police officers in passing patrol cars point out the window to me 👍 when they see how and what kind of light is installed on my bike 😊
