Not as wide of a throw, so might add a smaller Sofirn headlamp to this setup, but I only feel this on trails which I do not ride very often.

As a more budget friendly option I have now a Sofirn BLF Q8 Pro for around USD 70-80. It is a pricier option (was USD 200) but well worth the investment as it is universal, and I use it for hiking, general purpose too.

Rocking it for the last 2 years about 7 months a year (from Sept to April) 4-5 times weekly. I have had an ACEBEAM X80 mounted with half cut old grips and yip ties to my stem, it is crayz bright on high mode can easily sustain 6000 measured lumens for the downhills, and has a very wide flood, so no need to have any additional lights mounted to the helmet. It felt like a night out, but with only good feelings afterwards. We finished by rolling into town and getting a kebab.

There's something extra exciting about riding at night and an added sense of camaraderie, plus you can often spot wildlife you wouldn't see in the daytime. Bimbling our way down slick rocks and muddy ruts, one behind the other like a string of Christmas tree lights. Needless to say, we had a brilliant time. Still, a promise is a promise so I hurriedly get my riding kit on, dig out my half-charged lights, explain to my flatmate what the chuff I was up to and set out into the night.

It's a rainy and chilly autumn night and our local trails (Leigh woods) are lethal in the wet. My friend and colleague Tom reminds me that I've agreed to go on a night ride with him and Barney Marsh, a fellow science nerd and journalist at Singletrack, who's visiting Bristol for one night only. Belly full, I've just sat down on the sofa and I'm looking forward to watching some TV and going to bed.
