Headlamps for cyclists are practical lighting mounted on the head or helmet using an elastic band. They provide light exactly where the gaze is directed, without engaging the hands. This allows the cyclist full freedom of movement, and riding after dark or in challenging terrain becomes safer and more comfortable.
What features should a bike headlamp have?
A bike headlamp should have the following features to ensure safety and riding comfort:
Proper light power (lumens): A recommended minimum is 300–500 lumens for urban riding, while for off-road riding, it's worth choosing 800–1500 lumens to properly illuminate the route and quickly spot obstacles.
Beam angle adjustment: The ability to set the beam angle so that it properly lights the road ahead, without blinding other traffic participants.
Lighting modes: The flashlight should offer several modes, e.g., steady light of varying power, flashing like an SOS signal.
Stable mounting: A strap or helmet adapter ensuring secure and comfortable attachment that does not move during the ride.
Lightweight and waterproof: The headlamp should be lightweight to not be a nuisance while riding, and the housing should be moisture and rain-resistant, allowing operation in various weather conditions.
