I need some advice on headlights. I am starting to commute at least once a week on my flat-bar roadbike. 13 miles each way. Flat ride except for a couple of Pedestrian Freeway Overpasses. 1/2 unlit paved but occasionally rough bike paths, 1/2 busy streets.
Here is what I am thinking. Rechargeable battery, 10 Watt light, 2 hr+ run time. Under 3 lbs, preferably under 2 lbs. Preferably <$100. $ 150 max. Don't want to build my own light.
Looking at Cateye ABS 10, several Cygolite models, Light&Motion Commuter, NiteRider Trail Rat 2, VistaLite.
Any feedback on these choices?
Any other suggestions?
Is 10W bright enough?
