Planet Bike Beamer 700 Bike Headlight

The New York Times Wirecutter has named this USB-C rechargeable bike headlight as the Bike Headlight of the Year. Featuring five distinct modes, this easy-to-use front headlight offers a range of power settings and extended run times to suit various riding conditions.

The headlight's Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens delivers a high, medium, and low-power beam, as well as Courtesy and Superflash Day modes, ensuring optimal visibility for both the rider and other road users. The three steady modes provide runtime options of 2.5 hours (high - 700 lm), 4.5 hours (medium - 350 lm), and 8.5 hours (low - 200 lm), while the two flashing modes offer up to 8 hours (Courtesy 150-630 lm) and 15 hours (Superflash Day - 700 lm) of illumination.

Mounting the headlight is a breeze, thanks to the A3 cam mount which allows for tool-free adjustment or removal from handlebars with diameters ranging from 22.0 to 31.8mm. The fast-charging battery can be fully replenished in just 3.5 hours using the included USB-C cable.

Designed for all-weather use, this headlight is rated to the IPX6 water resistance standard, ensuring it can withstand the elements with ease. Importantly, the 240° visibility provided by the headlight helps to increase safety on the road, making the rider more conspicuous to other traffic.

Whether navigating city streets or tackling rural roads, this USB-C rechargeable bike headlight from the New York Times Wirecutter's Bike Headlight of the Year selection offers a compelling blend of performance, versatility, and user-friendliness to enhance the cycling experience.
