Now that the clocks have gone back, we've added another 43 lights to the road.cc Beam Comparison Engine. Compare and 'contrast' the output, beam shape and strength to help you pick the right bike light for youHere we go again! the clocks have gone back in the UK, it's dark before teatime and we’ve flipped the switch on the latest version of our famous road.
We've got some enormously powerful lights in this line-up, but really they're for off-road use and not designed for your road bike. At the top end of road lights, about 2,500 to 3,000 lumens is where we're at now, and that's more than you'd ever need for a road ride.
The move to USB-C from Micro-USB for charging is continuing to gain pace, with almost all the brighter lights now charging with USB-C. Shorter charge times, a double-sided design and more widely-spaced contacts arguably makes USB-C better than Micro-USB for charging bike lights, so this steady evolution is a welcome one. We've collected lots of beam data so you can compare and contrast the different lights. Light manufacturers use a number of different metrics to describe light output.
Although we use the same piece of road every year, it's very hard to make the beam shots directly comparable to other years. If the road was particularly wet in one year, for example, that means less reflected light from the surface compared to a drier year, making the lights appear darker. So the only directly comparable shots are the ones taken in the same year. The graph displaying the beam data uses a logarithmic scale to display the output of the lights.
