What good quality lights should I buy for a Raleigh Classic tourer?

[Methersgate]

I went on so long with the hub dynamo on my old Mercian tourer that the whole of the revolution in bike lights passed me by.

Now I need some. At my age (73) I am willing to spend for a really good set up, which I will assume will include a lithium ion battery that I can charge away from the bike.

It’s the bike in my avatar, but it now has a Brooks saddle and a Blackburn rear rack.

If the lights look a bit “in keeping” with the 1980s bike, that’s a bonus!

Good focused beam, replaceable 21700 lion battery. Can charge in light or remove and charge seperately. Usb c charging if former. Long run time, 21 hours low, and 6.5 hours medium etc. Low is fine apart from really fast descents on bad roads. Good robust mount for bike.

Thank you very much.

Doesn’t seem to mention a price.

Decathlon do a very good and sensibly priced range of lights.

You need to define "good". If you're talking about separate batteries, it implies that you want to ride all night and have them last. Otherwise, there are loads of brands that produce decent rechargeable lights where you just plug in a USB. Within a range, you'll get different options for brightness, battery life, etc. I stick with Cateye ones because I already have brackets on each bike. For example the AMP400 is a starting point if you're doing relatively short rides. Produces enough light for the odd unlit stretch, but probably more around town, and tends to be my go-to light although I have others. Spend more and get brighter if you have more demanding requirements.

Thank you; most helpful.
