hi guys!, i am soon getting a 4000 lumen bike light, i was wondering would this be enough to ride on an unlit country path at night with dense woodland over top?

 

[musa]

Depends.

More info on light required

3x cree led headlight and 4000 lumens bright and a large external battery pack

4000 lumens? Try not to run over the blind rabbits and badgers

 

[musa]

Should be fine but do get another light as backup
4000 or 400?

I run a hope vision 1 light. Two of them on dark nights one on city light

deffo 4000 lum 3 zero's

see i need a light that i can see the trail at night when i cycle the 30miles back home and most of my route is in the unlit countryside on muddy cycle trails, and covered with trees so not even moonlight, completely pitch black
i did try it with a normal cycle light, NO CHANCE!

good luck with those 4000 lumens lasting the 30 miles back, assuming it is one of those cheap chinese ebay lights ?

3HR life, it takes me about 2 1\2hrs to get back

but is 4000 lum enough?

 

[MrGrumpy]

link too the light please ? I`m almost certain that it is not in anyway pumping out 4000 lumens but it will be bright!

i will see if i can find the same one on ebay or amazon or somethin, i think the make is trustfire or trufire or somethin like that

 

[MrGrumpy]
