Fenix BC22R – 1400 Lumen Rechargeable Bike Light
The BC22R has a half-open lens, which means light escapes out both sides of the head as well as forward. That side glow gives vehicles to your left, right and rear a warning that you are there, which a front-only beam doesn't do.
The main beam comes from a Luminus SST40 LED: up to 1400 lumens and 512 ft (156 m), with an anti-glare cut-off line that keeps the brightest part on the road. One switch runs four brightness levels and flashing. The head is shaped to reduce wind resistance, and the light can be mounted on top of the bar or upside down under it using the included adapter mount (the hardware for inverse mounting is not included).
Power comes from a replaceable ARB-L18-3400 18650 battery, included, that charges in the light through USB-C and runs up to 41 hours. Because the battery comes out, you can carry a charged spare on a long ride. Battery level indication and a low-voltage warning are built in. 5.54 oz with battery, IP66 rated.
