Lil' Cobber LED Twinpack Lights

Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. For bike lights, a higher lumen count means a brighter light that can be seen from a greater distance, enhancing your safety while cycling, especially in low-light conditions. Choosing a bike light with a higher lumen rating ensures better visibility for both you and others on the road.

An IP67 rating indicates that the bike light is completely dust-tight and can withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This level of protection is essential for bike lights, as it ensures they will function properly in various weather conditions, such as rain or muddy environments, without compromising safety.

A magnetic mount uses strong magnets to securely attach the bike light to your bike. This system allows for quick and easy installation and removal, making it convenient for cyclists who want to take their lights with them when parking their bikes. It also ensures that the light stays in place during rides, providing reliable illumination.

Burn time refers to how long a bike light can operate before needing a recharge or battery replacement. For example, a front light with a burn time of 60 hours and a rear light lasting 40 hours means you can ride longer without worrying about your lights dying. Longer burn times are especially beneficial for cyclists who enjoy extended rides or commutes.

Eco Flash mode is a specific setting for bike lights that conserves battery life while still providing visibility. This mode typically involves a pulsing light pattern that uses less energy than a steady beam. By using Eco Flash, you can extend the operational time of your bike light, allowing you to ride longer without needing to recharge.

When selecting a bike light, consider your typical riding conditions. For urban riding with streetlights, a light with 100-300 lumens may suffice. However, for dark trails or rural areas, opt for lights with 500 lumens or more for maximum visibility. Always prioritize safety by choosing a lumen count that matches your riding environment.
