  2. I'm not entirely sure in run time. I can say this, I've yet to have it run out on me during a ride. I don't think I've done much more than 2 hrs rides at night over the past few yrs. I've done C&D, R&I and Oskar Blues with it and never ran out. We own 3 of them (oldest one is 4 yrs old) and occasionally when I leave house and I'm unsure if its fully charged, I just put a 2nd one in my back pocket JIC. FWIW I also run a L&M Seca 1300 on my bars. So I can toggle back and forth with my lights to maximize run time or light needed for techy riding. Oh and I've also used the light on road rides too. Those may be more than 2 hrs?? Overall, I have zero complaints. Its served its function, been handy and is pretty cheap Later, CJB

  4. +1 for NiteRider Lumina. I run one on my head, one on the bars, and have never had a problem. Great little lights! Happened to notice this today: https://bikecloset.com/product/lumina-1000-boost/?gclid=CjwKCAiA7dKMBhBCEiwAO_crFOGEeZ0nntfm9IBlQ_GL4YxaehKu8JX0kIztJ_0lZtaWyTJZ4ydwgBoC1ggQAvD_BwE

  5. One thing to think about is how long you will want to use it. I had a Lumina 650 that lasted for at least 6 years before I lost it. I am sure whoever found it is still using it now. Replaced it with a 900 for ~$65. I buy a lot of cheap crap but I find Lumina to be a great price based on how much you get. I generally run on the lowest or second to lowest setting so battery life is great, I use it for urban rides primarily and get a month out of the charge. I'd take the Lumina over the cheap one, I never use the full setting so getting to 1000w is not a big concern for me, I'd rather have better quality and longer product life than higher output, but that is just me.

  6. I do this almost every time this subject comes up. But a few years ago I purchased a light off Amazon for my sons to use when night riding. As for me!...I've always used my assortment of L&M gear! But when my venerable L&M stella battery went south and I grabbed one of my son's lights to use as my 2nd light up on my helmet and I've never looked back. These are cheap, liteweight and put out a very decent amount of light. We now own 3 of them. I think I got the recommendation way back on Mojo and I also think there may be 2-3+ other people running them around these parts also https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IHIMJRS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It weighs 95 gms and I normally run it middle of my helmet so it doesn't really push my helmet down on my forehead too much.

  7. I wish I could ride with just one light, but the secondary angle of light has proven to be a necessity for me. with just a handlebar light, the beam casts a shadow in grassy areas. I can only see what is directly in front of me, never "around a corner" or looking down into a hole. maybe part of the problem is that the light I had is to focused and spot-y and something with a wider beam would be better.

  8. @Barry has been speaking directly to the dogs lately, bypassing the owners. His focus has been on being off leash west of the creek. I’m sure he can bring up this issue with them as well.

  9. Yeah, I basically just use strava to track rides and mileage, I never get into segments. That was the fastest that I think I ever rode WC so I actually went to take a look at how I did. Go ahead and smack down my Strava talk, when it comes to that thing I don't really use it, it's a bucket for me. The only interesting stat remains how much mileage on which bike.
