I personally use two bike lights for my brevets, both of which are from AliExpress!
My main light is a 1000 lumens REAL with a 4800 mAh battery that costs 60 BGN, and my spare light is a 400 lumens with a 1100 mAh battery, weighing 43 g and costing 25-26 BGN.
I am SUPER HAPPY with both of my lights!!!
I use the main light as a PowerBank, and the spare light, the one right here in the store, I use daily as a blinker and it lasts ... INDEFINITELY! :)
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the light lasts for 48 hours in blinker mode, and I definitely agree with that claim.
My daily workouts are 2-3 hours long, and this light lasts a lot of those rides in a row.
In addition to being a blinker, this 400 lumens light is PERFECT as a main light, but honestly, I haven't personally tested how long its battery lasts in this mode.
I used this 400 lumens light very actively during the Rezovo 400 brevet, and you can read about my trip from this iconic brevet by clicking here: Rezovo 400 km brevet - trip report
I used this light several times at night on the way to Rezovo and as a main light to save the battery of my main light because I was expecting not only a whole night ride from Sliven to Rezovo (from 9 pm to 6-7 am, March), but also a late return to the finish at Sliven Mineral Baths.
The waterproof level of both lights is IPX65, and I personally made sure of their good waterproofness during this same Rezovo 400 brevet, during which we were caught in pouring rain three times... :)
I know some randonneurs will start grumbling because my big main light was from the Chinese brand ROCKBROS, and the small 400 lumens light is not even from that brand for quality (in my opinion) bike equipment.
Yes, the lights I constantly use for brevets ranging from 200-1400 km are not from some modern Western brand (which is also made in... China), but that doesn't matter!
Randonneur colleagues know me well that I have NEVER been a brand snob, the most important thing for me is the real results after testing and long use of the equipment I use!
That's why I made this online store for my blog, which only offers High Quality products that I personally tested! :)
