Make room for the right gear

Compare usable light, not just the biggest lumen number.

Choose the job first: hands-free tasks around camp or a light mounted on the bike. Then compare beam coverage, steady-mode runtime, attachment and how you will recharge it.

Hands-free light

The Black Diamond Deploy 325 Run Light keeps lighting on your head when your hands are busy.

Before you choose

Check runtime at the brightness you need, comfort when worn and charging access. A headlamp is not the same as a handlebar-mounted light.

A compact front bike light

The Knog Blinder 700 offers a handlebar-mounted option with USB-C charging.

Before you choose

Knog lists two hours at 650 lumens in High Steady. The much longer Eco Flash figure describes a different mode.

More output and another mounting option

Compare the Blinder 1000 for its higher output and included under-computer mount.

Before you choose

High Steady is listed at 950 lumens for two hours. A USB-C cable is not included; check the mount against your bike before ordering.

Maximum runtime and maximum output are usually different settings. Plan charging and a backup around the actual trip, and compare the exact mode rather than assuming the headline lumen figure lasts all night.

A little preparation goes a long way

Plan for the hours after dark.

Walking, cooking and reading each need different light. Consider beam, runtime, charging and how you will use it with the rest of your equipment.

Check the charging chain.

Bring your device models and cables when comparing power options. Connections and charging requirements differ between devices.
