  • I am in the market for a light for a Bikepacking MTB. Something that

    1. mounts nicely on the side of a Pelago front rack
    2. bright enough for off-road riding
    3. best light output at mid-range speed
    4. bonus: USB charger

    On paper, it seems like the Sinewave Beacon V2 ticks all the boxes. I really like that you can also run it from a power bank and not just from the dynamo.
    Is it bright enough?

    The SuperNova M99 DY Pro seems amazingly bright but has no other features.

    KLite gets good reviews and seems to tick all the boxes too but I can't get myself to pay that much money on something that looks like I 3D printed it at home.

    Should I wait for the SON Ladelux?

  • Only the SuperNova and the Son Ladelux are approved for road use.

    But on the opposite side you need you need a light with high beam for MTB use!

    No USB charger
    Fernlicht: > 1.000 lm, 200 lx (full beam)
