cateye volt200
good for night offroad?
not so technical trail, just some palm oil fire road & some hill

quite skeptical for oem light, cheaper can get rm50 for 400lm light
but durability?

yeah, rear tyre sometimes troublesome
nak cepat mesti misalign la, tak masuk la
but in my case, i had to

want to buy roof rack...but i dont like "showoff" my cheap bike
live in kampung area summore

Permanent roof rack will increase fuel consumption by at least 15%.

what's the lumen rating? how long is the battery capacity?
those china lights, the beam is bright enough. but some get overheated and then shut down. or my friend's one, when the road gets bumpy the cable connection gets loose and disconnected. sometimes the light mode changes by itself. and they use cheapo batteries too.

15%
lucky dint buy yet as i forsee it underuse

volt200 - 200lm
spec said : high mode 2hrs, low mode (50lm) 6hrs

any other model recomended? around rm150 budget?

last weekend outing my friend, his moon meteor suddenly low battery and cannot switch on at all
just riding 15min++, just bought summore with full recharge b4

i prefer standalone without powerbank, with wire, like you said later loose

u sure u can finish kayuh less than 2 hrs? if not, u can ask ur friends which those china made front lights they use, and ask if ok or not.

senang je nak tackle masalah misalign tu. Pakai thru axle

Never tries cateye. But i foresee 200lm pretty low?
I have lezyne microdrive 400, usable but not enough for me.
Ended up using it on the bar, but have another china made light those wired with ext battery type on the helmet as the main lighting.

some of them recommend me buy reputable brand like cateye
but for usage quite short for 2hrs
i need at least 3hrs for full brightness
some suggest to me this type, of course no need think about duration anymore lol



kena tukar frame pulak

saw my freind punya, 250lm quite ok and bright
i got another my old headlamp for helmet, i think about 100lm
oklah, i close my eyes and try oem model with external powerbank
cheap summore
blackout in pure darkness is scary. hahaha

Iluminox

I'm using that china made, but only 1 LED (T6 iinm), super bright (3 modes - Full, mid & blink). Full recharge can last you over for a long time - maybe a few months (depends on your usage) & i mount it on the helmet with cable tie. Everytime habis ride, just potong the tie, kawtim. Batt i put it in my backpack.

The good thing about this light (apart from the brightness) is that since it is on your helmet, you can torch it to anywhere. What i mean is that I torch it to the cars in the junction so they would knew my existence.. Apart from you can torch whatever you want to torch - especially in the darkest trail..

Get this. I have tried a few led and this one is really bright and price reasonable.

It has 4 pcs XM-L T6 LED which is very bright and evenly distributed. The power consumption is great as I have juice left after 2 hrs ride. The size is not too big too.

not just bulky, the heat also needs to count in~
