I ride a 28mph Class 3 e-bike. I use this for urban road riding at night. Most bike light beam have a lot of light spill, that causes glare that can blind oncoming traffic. To mitigate this problem there are lights that have cutoff beams. In Germany lights are regulated to have cutoff beams. It is requirement of the German StVZO safety standards. Recently more light makers are taking notice. Bontrager for one recently brought to market their cutoff beam light. Another is Outbound lighting who is a small company, who designes and assembles light their lights in the US. The light that I'm speaking of is called the Detour. If you happen to ride in urban setting when the sun is down and you want to be safe and responsible, check out what I'm saying.
The blogger's bicycle light has a detailed explanation, but high lumen is not necessarily good. It is best to adjust the brightness yourself to suit various scenes, because some places are not allowed to use too bright lights, which will make people dizzy and affect safe riding.
Haven't ridden a bike since getting my driver's license. Is that uncommon? Used to build bikes as a kid. Someone gave me a bike to work on. It's been sitting untouched on my back porch for the last 4 years. Really should do something with it.
It'll be good to do video measuring how long the led light up at max lumens before it dims down and at what lumens, coz a lot of the led lights that they sell these days their lumens or light output drops significantly after a few minutes or so.
The FL's rugged construction is as good as they ever gonna be with aluminum casings, what I'm more interested is submergence capability, FL mount's ruggedness, and charge time and can they handle charge bricks with a higher amp rating? Weight distribution is also important since handlebar vibration tends to tilt it down if it's front heavy. But 50 bucks for an 1800 lumen FL? That can be a bargain.
Any setting Change is reflected in the battery percentage. The number changed because I went from a single low output to a double high output. I should have demonstrated that better. There is a short recalculation lag so the change in percentage is snot always immediate.

I will get this lamp next week, hope is as good as it looks.
Love the bicycle content!
great video! thanks for share your review friend!

Hello again Doc
Thank you for another Great Video. Is this going with you on the trip? Again thank you
Nice find! For $50 this light is a bargain with all the features.

Hi Doc. Can you show us your bikes and tools you use to repair the bikes?
Anyway thanks for all the great videos love your channel.
How about doing some comparisons with other lights outside showing how well it illuminates at various distances?

No beam shots 🧐
check the snap-on neck light out
Why the battery % is going down to fast every time you turn on and off. Started in 91 and the end of the video is 74.
