Verdict: An exceptionally well-made, affordable, and lightweight bike light that packs a huge amount of brightness into its diminutive size!

The ELOPS FL 920 USB Bike Light from Decathlon is a super affordable (around £27 at time of writing) and reliable front or real light for riders seeking a powerful and adaptable lighting solution for bikepacking adventures.

 

With a power output of 11 lux, this LED light ensures optimal visibility with a wide beam, making it effective for both road and trail cycling. Its 200 lumens power in continuous or flashing modes enhances visibility, ensuring you are seen by others on the road but can also see where you’re riding. When paired with 2 on a handlebar, you’ve got powerful trail lighting and contingency in case of a problem with one.

 

The light offering a practical 1½ to 3 hours of battery life on a single charge with a micro USB charger (included). The convenience of USB charging adds to its user-friendly design, allowing cyclists to recharge easily between rides or using a power bank / service station. The versatility of this bike light is highlighted by its five modes, both in white and red, catering to various lighting needs and enhancing your safety.

 

The light is attached using a universal elastic strap, ensuring a secure fit on a variety of bike frames and handlebars. This user-friendly design makes it easy to attach and remove, accommodating different preferences and positions if you’re carrying loads of bags. The waterproof rating of IPX4 adds to its durability, withstanding spray and heavy, persistent rain, ensuring that the light remains reliable in various weather conditions. Really impressive for the cost!

 

In summary, the offering from Decathlon offers a balance of power, versatility, and durability. Whether you're navigating city streets or tackling off-road trails, its 200-lumen power provide ample visibility. With a USB rechargeable battery, multiple modes, and a secure universal strap, the FL 920 proves itself as a dependable and adaptable lighting solution for cyclists of all kinds.

FiveTen ‘Five Tennies’ approach shoes review

The Adidas Five Ten Five Tennies are a simple yet cult classic that continues to impress us with their blend of style, comfort, and durability (these are now almost 4 years old!).

These shoes may look unassuming, but their performance on both rugged trails and everyday activities sets them apart from many other approach shoes.
