General Cycling Discussion - Lights.

I'm lined for some nighttime rides this year including some 24hr enduros. Reading the reviews the L&M Arc Cabeza (HID) lights rate very highly but at a price. And considering it comes only with one light I'd ideally like a system that has two.

If I were to opt for this lighting system can you connect accessory lights to the loom as well?

Are the lights available separately?

How does the battery pack mount? I have a Cannondale Gemini so there are no lugs for a water cage so that kind of battery mount is not an option. I'd need something that could strap to the downtube but not in such a way as to occlude the cables.

Has anyone used this lighting system and switched?

Are there other lighting systems you'd recommend? Money is not really a restriction but there is a point where you can pay more and get less.

Advice appreciated.

They put together excellent lighting systems at very good prices...but price isn't the limiter. There systems are top notch. I've been using one of their systems for over a year now. If you call, Jim will help you set up a system specificially for your needs. They also support racing with things like battery rentals, so you can have extra batteries for a 24hr race.

Thanks chuckfox. Unfortunately I live in that cesspool on the other side of the pond called England. I'll look for something you suggested in this side of the world.

Ever considered a Schmidt Dynohub? Std equipment for long Audax events.
