second that :)

This is really useful information regarding various lighting products available on the market. Of course there are some that are slightly more expensive, but there are an awful lot of bargains having looked through.

Kind regards

Thank you for the information in the post, nice to have a great resource. Need a few lights.

Has much changed in the last 5 years or has progress in led lighting and battery tech kind of plateaued?

I believe a lot has changed.

People are more interested in having good lights. And people who had no lights now want lights.

More good lights are on the market. I think the quality-to-price ratio is still climbing. Energy efficiency is still improving. Battery life isn't improving much but with improved energy efficiency, you get better battery life.

I imagine some take advantage of smart charging which was less common five years ago.

Mini USB gave way to micro USB which is giving way to USB-C.

Anyone else try Outbound lighting Detour?
 

So I just tried out Outbound lightings Detour road light. At $180 it’s not cheap but as my current setup is 2 Nite Rider 900s (usually used in series as I often bike longer than one light lasts) and that’s probably $170 not outrageous. And I was so impressed I even made a of my test vs a NR 900. It’s great at getting the light on the path and out of oncoming eyeballs. For anyone interested you can look At the Outbound website. Battery life is about the same as the 900 but with better focus I feel ok riding on a medium as opposed to high settings so it actually lasts longer in terms of effectivene use.
