With so many options available, choosing the right light can be a challenge.
As a general guide:
To see in the dark, we would opt for something with at-least 800 lumens for the front. A minimum of 50 lumens on the rear is optimal for visibility.
Dusk/Dawn is when visibility is at its lowest, so we recommend the same options as at night here.
During the day, although visibility is high, it is extremely important to use lights. Learn more about the importance of lights at all times HERE.
