Thanks. Stepdowns on a flashlight are somewhat understandable but on a bike light they are silly. Sounds like the light is made to impress people when you first turn it on. I think a car headlamp is usually around 500 lumens so I wouldn’t want a bike light to be any brighter than that. A motorcycle headlamp is probably dimmer than a car’s, so the Wuben’s 365lm sustained medium output sounds reasonable. I’d want the CCT to be a lot lower though, like a tungsten bulb. I’ve never liked blue-cast LED headlamps on cars.

I’d be interested to know if there are bike lights you particularly recommend. This one doesn’t seem to be it ;).
