2in1 Super Bright Bike Light with Phone Holder, USB C Rechargeable Bicycle Light for Night Riding, 2600 Lumen Bicycle Headlight and Taillights Set, Wide MTB Front Light Bar for Mountain Bike
$ 17.80
First, any bicycle light with Go-Pro-type mounts and a secure mounting to the handlebars (without stretchy rubber attachments) will get points with me. The AKALATE 2in1 Super Bright Bike Light has an excellent attachment system that is slim and secure. It uses plastic inserts to adjust for different size handlebars, and though I couldn’t test all the bar sizes, they fit fine on my bars (31.8 Ø). I also like that this mounting system puts your light and phone in the center of your bicycle, which is excellent.HeadlampPros: It provides a lovely, wide beam ideally suited for bicycle riding. With both Low Beam and High Beam turned on, the instructions say 2.5 hours of runtime, but I got more than 3 hours of continuous runtime—very impressive.Cons: This light is heavy. It weighs 315g for the light alone, which is about three times my other premium bike light. Also, the light is mounted underneath the bracket, which can make it slightly difficult to remove (it just snaps in for putting it on). It’s a bit too heavy for a serious road bike and doesn’t penetrate deep enough for off-road mountain biking at night.TaillightIt’s not very bright, and it attaches with a rubber stretchy thing that I am not a fan of. It’s rechargeable, which is a plus. It’s better than nothing at all, but I would look for a better taillight.Phone HolderIt holds the phone securely and in a great position. However, it doesn’t have anything to dampen vibration or shocks, so it depends on the bike. It would be great on a city bike with some front suspension but not so good on a road bike with a carbon fork and handlebar.Overall, this light’s suitability for a city bike, which I think is its calling, makes it a solid value and earns it a full five stars.
