- -Front Lights for Bicycles - Comparison (Cateye.com)
Compares 12 headlights in terms of brightness, battery life, type of system, and more.
For frequent night riders, a good "system" may be a set of HL-1500 Hyper Halogen headlights used with rechargable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a one-hour NiMH recharger, available at some Drugstores, such as Walgreens. (One-hour NiMH chargers cost around $35 and a set of four NiMH batteries cost under $15.) This night "system" then costs a little over $100, with a run time of 6 hours on high and 12 hours on low.
This lighting system, plus a Planet Bike Brt Spot LED light (in flashing mode for maximum visibility for other drivers) is a recommended system for the front of the bike.
Rechargeable batteries may be not a good idea, however, if night riding is rare. NiMH batteries should be recharged if several weeks go by without using them. Although NiMH batteries provide double the run time compared to alkaline batteries when in use, NiMH batteries do not maintain their charge well during storage. 09-09
- Front LED Lights for Bicycles - Comparison (Epinions.com)
Compares NiteRider headlights for bicycles. 4-03
- Front LED Lights for Bicycles - Comparison (NiteRider.com)
Compares NiteRider headlights for bicycles. 4-03
- -Front Lights for Bicycles - Comparison (Planet Bike)
Compares 14 headlights with a simulated scene showing the approximate coverage. The Alias SC ($169) and the Alias HID ($399) are the only lights providing very good visibility up to 150 feet. The 5000x ($24.95) spotty coverage up to 150 feet. 05-08
- -1. Front Lights for Bicycles - Xenon (Planet Bike)
The 500XR headlight provides 5,000 candlepower for around $60 and includes 4 NiMH batteries (1200 mAh each) and a battery charger. This system is a Best Buy for those who ride at night frequently. If you already have a battery charger or prefer a fast recharger and more powerful NiMH (1850 mAh) batteries from another source, then the 500X for $30 would be a Best Buy. Not only do these lights have some of the strongest candlepower for under $100, they also have an excellent beam for dispersing the light where you need it most.
The 500XR and the 500X each have a run time of 3-4 hours at 3,000 candlepower and 1.5-2 hours at 5,000 candlepower. The 500XR includes a spare NiMH battery cartridge that can be brought with for double the run time, but 4 more NiMH batteries need to be purchased to use this option.
NiMH batteries vary widely in their capacities, from a low of 1200 mAh to a high of 1850 mAh, depending on the brand. A higher capacity battery should last longer after a charge. The 1.5-2 hours run time assumes use of the lowest capacity (1200 mAh) batteries, so much higher run times are probably available with better batteries.
This lighting system, plus a Planet Bike Brt Spot LED light (in flashing mode for maximum visibility for other drivers) is a recommended system for the front of the bike. 4-03
