looking for some quick information on a headlight
Im looking into buying a headlight for my roadbike that i can also use for night time mountain bike rides and as a headlamp when needed.
there are quite a few options out there but im not looking to spend 120$+ at this time.
Im wondering what Lumes would be a good option for both and what shape would work better.
right now im looking at 2 options, a 7000lm x5 cree round light that is low on functions ( only has high / low ) and a 6000lm x3 cree rounded rectangle with more functions ( super bright /high/med/low )
both of these lights look to be about 1000-1200 lm on low setting then brighter as needed from there.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/7000-Lm-5xCR...item2c6e3b4920

any input would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone knows more viable options im open to suggestions.
would like to order one in the next day or 2 so faster you reply the better.

LET'S ROLL
Having more modes I think is better.
Here's one that has 6 LED's and has
4 modes:
