Both lights appear to have the same 70 lumen rating. Is the Remix lighter than the EOS - Bike? Please advise. Thank you.
Does the Fenix L1D have some shortcomings for you? It runs 5 hours at around 55 lumens (medium) in a self-contained light that's waterproof and reliable, so I don't see a ton of benefit in encumbering your helmet with a strap-on light like those. If you need more runtime, just get an L2D body, slap on your head and tailcap, and run two AAs.
