Blackburn Central 700

This light packs a punch both in power and mounting versatility. With the included mount capable of rotating 360 degrees and fitting a variety of bar or stem diameters, the light can also be mounted to a GoPro or similar mount. Be that on your head, fork mount, handlebar or otherwise. The Lithium-Ion battery is also replaceable, making it a great long-term investment. The pattern is the same as the smaller 350, with the light focused in the centre. With 700 lumens available on high, for almost an hour-and-a-half, this light will suit riding on unlit bike paths or roads, and with the lower settings can adapt to friendly use in your local bunch ride.Model: Output: 700 lumens

Burn time: 1.25 – 9 hours, Modes: 5 modes including pulse and strobe, Mounting: Elastic quick release mount, plus Action Camera style, Weight: 172g, Price: $169.99, From: Sheppard Cycles

Exposure Joystick Mk11

A premium front light that suits long distance rides, early starts, solo training, adventure rides and even mountain biking. The output can be tailored for your needs, and the weatherproof nature of the light makes it perfect for the rain, hail or shine rider to get out and stay out in safety. The light’s centred focus is clear with no dark spots, and the wider spread helps from riding ‘trapped’ in the beam. The mounts for the handlebar and helmet are basic but work – and there are options for aero handlebars as well. The Joystick has a CNC machined body that means it will be around for years, and as it comes with a wall charger and a USB charger you can easily have one at home and one at the office.

Output: 850 lumens, Burn time: 1.5- 36 hours, Modes: Programmable, flashing or steady, Mounting: Bar and helmet mounts included, Weight: 88g, Price: $250, From: BikeBox
