I have to admit that bicycle lights have gotten much better (brighter and longer life) and much cheaper over the years. I bought my first night light (made specifically for bicycles) about 10 yrs. ago. It was the creme-de-le-creme of bicycle lights made by neighboring Princeton-Tec, in New Jersey. I'm not sure of the lumen output but I know it pales in comparison to today's lights. And, I know for a fact I paid well over $200 for the light.
Today, there are so many bicycle lights to choose from but the one that caught my eye recently was made by Te-Rich. It's a 1200 lumen Cree LED light which gives approx. 5 hrs. of running time on high power. Trust me when I say this, 1200 lumens is a LOT of light. In fact, it will light up an entire road for approximately 50 yds. That is phenomenal. And, the best part is, it's only $32 from Amazon. That's right $32. How can you beat that? And, there's more! haha. The light is waterproof, it's rechargeable and it even includes a back light (red). For $32 I can afford to buy 7 of these for the price that I paid for my Princeton Tec light. And, I'll bet the lumen output on my Princeton-Tec is no more than 200-300 lumens. I've read a bunch of positive reviews of this light on Amazon so I know it's the real deal. Like I said, even if you buy a bad one, you'll have enough money to buy 6 more and still have paid less than what I paid for my Princeton Tec 10 yrs. ago.
I'll be purchasing this light in the next week or so. When I get it, I'll do a follow-up review. Until then, Power ON! Coach Rob
