Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢

      Please watch out to orient your light in a way that it wont point into your fellow cyclists eyes. That can be very unsettling.

      Bike lights often have optics that try to prevent this from happening off course only when properly oriented.

    Hub dynamo plus high quality LED lights from Busch&Müller, Shutter Precision or something similar. Will work forever and you never run out of battery power again.

    The best, longest lasting, but expensive route is a generator hub. Bonus, you can charge your phone, especially in the day.

    Any number of torches can be used with a simple adapter. I’d recommend 18650 types, huge power, flashing modes etc., however there may be drawbacks

    I’d sooner invest in a set of lights that stand out more than a set of lights with replaceable batteries.

    For daylight usage the Exposure Lights Trace and TraceR set are amazing. But yeah, non-replaceable…
