Headlamps for cyclists are practical lighting mounted on the head or helmet with an elastic strap. They provide light exactly where the gaze is directed, without involving the hands. This allows the cyclist to maintain full freedom of movement, and cycling after dark or on challenging terrain becomes safer and more comfortable.
What features should a bicycle headlamp have?
A bicycle headlamp should have the following features to ensure safety and riding comfort:
Appropriate light power (lumens): The recommended minimum is 300–500 lumens for urban cycling, while for off-road cycling, it's worth choosing 800–1500 lumens to adequately illuminate the route and quickly spot obstacles.
Beam angle adjustment: The ability to set the light beam angle so that it adequately illuminates the road in front of the bicycle without blinding other road users.
Lighting modes: The headlamp should offer several modes, e.g., steady light at various intensities, flashing (e.g., SOS signal), and rear red light (in the case of bicycle lamps).
Stable mounting: A strap or helmet adapter that provides a secure and comfortable attachment that does not shift during cycling.
Lightweight and waterproof: The headlamp should be lightweight so as not to be cumbersome during cycling, and the housing should be resistant to moisture and rain, allowing it to work in various weather conditions.
