   • Adjustable Brightness: Multiple settings (e.g., high, medium, low, strobe) to adapt to different riding conditions.
2. Beam Pattern:
   • Flood Beam: Wide coverage, ideal for city riding to make you visible to others.
   • Spot Beam: Focused light, useful for seeing further ahead on dark trails.
3. Battery Life:
   • Rechargeable Batteries: USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are common, offering convenience and cost savings.
   • Battery Life: Varies based on brightness setting, with higher settings draining the battery faster. Check the manufacturer’s specifications for battery life estimates.
4. Mounting Options:
   • Handlebar Mount: Most common, attaches to the bike’s handlebars.
   • Helmet Mount: Offers additional lighting directionality and visibility.
5. Durability and Weather Resistance:
   • Waterproof Rating: IPX ratings (e.g., IPX4, IPX6) indicate resistance to water, essential for riding in rain or wet conditions.
   • Build Quality: Robust materials like aluminum or high-grade plastic for durability.
6. Additional Features:
   • Quick Release: Easy to attach and detach the light for security and charging.
   • Indicator Lights: Battery level indicators to monitor power status.

Usage Tips

1. Choosing the Right Light:
   • For Urban Riding: A light with 100-300 lumens is typically sufficient, with a wide beam pattern for visibility.
   • For Rural or Off-Road Riding: Higher lumens (600-1000+) with a focused beam pattern to see further ahead.
   • Rear Lights: Red lights for the rear of the bike to alert traffic from behind.
2. Mounting the Light:
   • Ensure the light is securely mounted and positioned correctly for optimal visibility.
   • Test the mount for stability to avoid movement or detachment during rides.
3. Battery Management:
   • Charge the light after each use to ensure it’s ready for the next ride.
   • Carry a portable power bank or spare batteries for extended rides.
4. Regular Maintenance:
   • Clean the light and mounting brackets regularly to remove dirt and ensure clear light output.
   • Check for any damage or wear, particularly after rough rides.
