Hi guys,
Before I start, I want to apologise for another light thread, however, I've a specific function of the light, before lumen's comes into it.
I'm looking for a light which has a pulse feature. Ideally a little cheaper than an Exposure / Cateye Nano Shot Plus, but if push comes to shove, then so be it.
The pulse feature I mean, isn't a flash off/on, but a steady beam which goes brighter, allowing me to see the ultra-smooth roads of Plymouth, and oncoming vehicles see me.
Ideally the light needs to be rechargeable, as my current Cree light is a bit power hungry, and although I like it's ability to zoom in and out, it's not ideal for going onto unlit trails, which I've recently found out.
I have been told the Lezyne MegaDrive has a pulse feature, but unfortunately my local Evans Cycles store don't have it in stock for me to see.
As for lumens, the Cree I currently have is meant to be 600lm, however I've no idea if it's anywhere near it.
But as long as it's bright enough to go through unlit tunnels, the unlit roads on the moors, and can keep a decent amount of charge for long rides, then that's all that matters.
If I need to sink money into something expensive, then I honestly don't mind, ideally below the £150 mark though, given Spring/Summer on it's way, I can only hope the prices come down as a temporary measure.
