Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢

    I’d sooner invest in a set of lights that stand out more than a set of lights with replaceable batteries.

    For daylight usage the Exposure Lights Trace and TraceR set are amazing. But yeah, non-replaceable…

      Great at night too. I only have to change them every month or so on their lowest brightness, which is very very visible at night.

    Hub dynamo plus high quality LED lights from Busch&Müller, Shutter Precision or something similar. Will work forever and you never run out of battery power again.

      Please watch out to orient your light in a way that it wont point into your fellow cyclists eyes. That can be very unsettling.

      Bike lights often have optics that try to prevent this from happening off course only when properly oriented.
