Fenix BC45R – 3300 Lumen Bike Light with Wireless Remote
The BC45R is a bike headlight for night riding with two separate beams. It has a high beam from one SFT-40 LED for reaching down the road or trail, and a low beam from four SST12 LEDs that lights up the ground in front of the wheel. Use them separately or together, up to 3300 lumens on Turbo and a 938 ft (286 m) beam.
A wireless remote controls both beams, so you can change modes without reaching for the light, and the light has its own switches too. There are three high beam levels, four low beam levels, Turbo and Flash. An OLED display on the light shows battery level, charging status, brightness level and the current mode.
It runs on two replaceable ARB-L18-3400 18650 batteries, included, for up to 59 hours, and charges through an inner-waterproof USB-C port. The A6061-T6 aluminum body is IP66 rated and impact resistant to 1.5 m. The trade-off for two cells and this much output is weight: 10.58 oz with batteries.
