Bikeradar reviews a ton of bike light products every year, and this article summarizes what they consider to be the best bike headlights and taillights (and in my opinion the most expensive).
Bicycle lights are generally divided into two categories. One is to provide bright lighting for you to see the road, and the other is a warning light to ensure that you can be seen by others.
The headlights selected in this guide are all high-power models that can illuminate the road. The taillight design function is mainly to allow other road users to see you, so battery life, weight and side visibility are all important factors in the taillight design. Everything is more important than mere brightness.
