Good morning fellas,
I'm looking for some suggestions as to what light I should get. As the temps in Arizona are climbing quickly (and my son who gets up progressively earlier), the only time I think I can ride is early early morning and weekends. I'd like to find an inexpensive light that can light the trails for around an hour before the sun comes up. I've been trying to read all the threads in here but to be honest, all the specs most of you rap off are jibberish to me. I'd like to keep the price down as much as possible (for now) and I have been looking at some of the cheap-o Chinese stuff. I have been looking at this:
Amazon.com: 5000 Lumen 2x CREE XML U2 LED Cycling Bicycle Bike Light Lamp HeadLight Headlamp: Sports & Outdoors
I'd prefer to not have a thousand lights on my bars and helmet but mainly I'd like to not eat **** in the dirt because I can't see. Also added bonus points for being shipped in the US so I don't have to wait a month for shipping. From what you guys have been saying in previous threads that there is some preventive measures to take when buying these lights such as inspecting the solders, thermal paste, etc; I should do this to maximize the life on the light. Any ideas or suggestions? Please and thanks!
