Why Led Lights Are The Best Choice For CyclistsAccording to a recent survey by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance in Portland, Ore., where bicycle commuting is a major part of the city's culture, only 80% of cyclists had sufficient front lights, and only 75% had proper rear lighting. And that's in one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country; imagine how few cyclists in other cities have proper lighting! Safe cycling requires bicyclists to make themselves as visible as possible to motorists. This article argues for using LED lights as bicycle lights. Why Choose LED Lights? LED bulbs are increasingly popular among cyclists. Here's why: - Power. Today's LED lights can emit out hundreds of lumens in one powerful beam. The more powerful the beam, the farther away you can be seen, which means motorists will have a better chance of spotting you. Some LED lights can be seen from miles away.- Battery Life. An LED headlamp has a much longer battery life than many other types of lighting, so you don't have to change the batteries as often. The same can be said for all types of LED bulbs - they require fewer batteries and last far longer than other bulbs on the market. - Durability. LED lights can take a bumpy ride better than many other forms of lighting because they have no filaments or thin glass bulbs to break. - Compact design. LED headlamps and lights are usually smaller and lighter than their incandescent counterparts, which makes them convenient for attaching to handlebars. Tips for Using LED Lights on a Bicycle There are many different bicycle mounting options available for LED lights. At the very least, your bike should have a front LED headlamp as well as a rear light or reflector so you can be spotted from both directions. Commercial lighting kits are often quite pricey, so many bicyclists create their own bike lighting solutions. There are even bike mounts made to carry a regular flashlight on your handlebars. Choose high-quality lights. Not all LED lights are created equal. Some cheaper LED flashlights are too weak to meet the legal standards for bicycle lighting. Look for high-quality lights with powerful, focused beams and durable casings. Look for dimming and strobe options. You may also want to use a strobe to get attention. LED lights that offer different brightness and strobe settings provide maximum versatility, so you can tailor the lighting to your current situation. Carry a spare LED headlamp. An LED headlamp that can be worn over your helmet can offer valuable backup lighting without taking up a lot of precious space. If you end up having to repair a flat, or if one of the lights affixed to your bike burns out, a spare LED headlamp can be invaluable. Make sure it's legal. Sometimes the law can take a while to catch up to technology. LED lights may not be considered legal for bicycles in your jurisdiction, so check before you buy. Sharing the road with motorists can be hazardous. However, with strong LED lighting, you can exponentially increase your safety when bicycling at night. ...
