UPVOTED BIKE LIGHTS
Keen to let everyone see he’s taken off the stabilisers, Chris Rowlands kits out his two-wheeled steed with the zingiest front and rear lights for winter visibility
BAR BEAMERS
The handlebar headlight
Outbound Detour
Brilliant rays might reveal the road ahead, but a blinding glare isn’t fair on night-time traffic. Inspired by your car’s headlights, this lamp uses a cut-off pattern to illuminate the asphalt without dazzling drivers – like dipped beams for your bike. Its twin beams fire out 1200 lumens. £153 / outboundlighting.com
The tubular torch
Exposure Sirius Mk10
Singing in the saddle is one way to warn pedestrians you’re approaching, but your warbling won’t work from afar. Shaped like a mini microphone, this aluminium tube pumps out 900 lumens across a 240° arc. Its pulse pattern is designed to keep you conspicuous at distances of over 1km. £100 / exposure-use.com
