Rechargeable Light Guide


Riding in winter without a light will severly cut short your available riding time. In fact, if you use your bike to commute daily, the chances are that it is probably dark before you set off for your two wheeled journey home, making it near impossible to do it safely. So, if you plan on riding all year round whether it be mountain biking, commuting or just popping to the shops, a light is vital. Here you will have a couple of options, battery or rechargeable? A battery light will be suitable for the more casual rider who may occasionally venture out in the dark or do so for shorter periods, where it will serve it's purpose without any problems. However, what about the cyclist who spends 5 hours or more riding each week? Those batteries would be sapped of their energy in no time! The solution would be a rechargeable light. Although initially more expensive to buy, a recharcheable light will prove more cost effective over the course of the year compared to a battery operated unit. What's more, they will offer unrivalled light output and rapid charge times on some models.

We stock a comprehensive range of lighting solutions from brand leaders such as Hope, Cateye, NiteRider, Exposure and many more. Below, you will find a small selection of some of our best selling rechargeable lights, with approximate burn times in between charges as well as test condition images. So if you want an exhilirating night-time trail-blazing session or a safer ride home from work, we are sure to offer something for you.
