Bicycle lighting

   Bicycle lighting

An important element of bike equipment, especially if you ride around the city in the evening and at night, is the lighting equipment. When choosing it, you need to answer the main question: what tasks should these bicycle accessories solve? There are two of them, and both of them are extremely important for your safety:

• Make the cyclist visible to other road users.
• Lighting the way in the dark.

For a safe and enjoyable cycling, whether it is a country walk or a trip to a megalopolis, two types of lighting devices will be needed: dimensions, or emergency lights, and lights or headlights.

Dimensions and emergency lights will make you visible to car drivers and prevent a potential collision. They are front, side and rear. White dimensions are usually installed in front, and red in the back. A big plus will be if they work in several modes: blinking, ripple and glow. As a rule, such devices are inexpensive, and by installing them on the trunk, seatpost, wheels or frame pipe, you will become much more noticeable on the road, which will increase safety. Often, beacons are attached directly to clothing or a backpack.

The function of powerful flashlights and headlights is to illuminate the road on which you are driving. Among them there are both budget prototypes and expensive ones from well-known and established brands, the price of which can reach several thousand hryvnias. The cost depends on several factors: the power of the LEDs used in the headlights, build quality, as well as body materials and type of battery.

It should be borne in mind that despite the low price, most modern inexpensive headlights meet all the necessary requirements and provide good illumination of the roadway. They give a sufficient length and power of the light beam. Moreover, according to experts, sometimes these models even surpass their more distinguished counterparts in functional properties, since small, unknown companies respond faster to technological innovations and more often update the assortment.

Often at such a manufacturer you will find more modern and powerful LEDs than a brand with a recognized name. But these budget products have their drawbacks. Cheap devices can dampen over time, their boards and batteries can become corroded. Because of this, you will have to devote more time to caring for them, periodically processing with special means. In more expensive models, all the main components are securely covered with special composite materials.

In online bicycle shops there is a wide range of such devices. When choosing, you should pay attention to the price range of goods, the presence of various manufacturers, as well as bonuses and discounts offered to customers.
