A small marker light tells a driver you are there. It does not show you the\nsurface. On lit streets that is enough. On an unlit lane it is not, and the\ndifference shows up as a pothole you meet rather than avoid.
\n\nRange is the number that separates them. Up to 150 m gives you time to read\nwhat is coming at normal riding speed.
\n\nA very bright narrow spot lights a small circle a long way off and leaves\neverything either side dark. That is where kerbs, drain gratings and the verge\nlive.
\n\nAn 85 degree beam is wide enough to keep those inside the lit area. On a\ntwisting road it also means the corner is lit before you are pointing at it.
\n\nAny light bright enough to be useful is bright enough to dazzle someone\ncoming the other way. Set it so the beam lands on the road ahead rather than at\neye height. It costs you nothing and it is the difference between a useful light\nand an antisocial one.
\n\nThe SOS strobe is there for an emergency, not for riding behind. Some\ncountries also restrict flashing front lights on the road. Check the rule where\nyou ride, and use the steady modes for normal riding.
", "llm_summary": "Bike Light (site SKU bike-headlight, warehouse pick code bike-headlight) sold by Bike Stand Company at bikestand.eu.com, EUR 39. A rechargeable front bicycle light with four lighting modes cycled by button: light sensor mode, strong, weak, and strobe SOS at 10 Hz. Beam angle 85 degrees, lighting range quoted up to 150 m. Supplied with a USB charging cable and a user manual. It is a see-the-road light rather than a be-seen light: the 150 m range gives time to read the surface on unlit roads, and the wide 85 degree beam puts the verge, kerbs and drain gratings inside the lit area rather than leaving them dark beside a narrow spot. The light sensor mode adjusts to ambient light, which suits a commute that moves in and out of street lighting. Practical caution stated on the page: a fast strobe is for being seen in an emergency rather than for riding by, and some countries restrict flashing front lights on the road, so local rules should be checked.
