Looking for a good headlight for my bike (and taillight if that counts). Do you guys have any good recommendations? (self.flashlight)

I don't really have an explicit budget, but maybe around $100 for the set would be a good start. My main priority is battery life.

Seconded. I have an older, single cell version of this light (BC-21R) and it is nice. I like the beam and that it has a built in charger (in fact the only 18650 charger I can find right now: I've misplaced my usual one).

I'm not that crazy about its handlebar mount or UI, but I think they have gone to a better handlebar mount in newer models, and the UI for a bike light is not that important since you don't use the controls nearly as often as you would those of a flashlight.

There is another thread here with a few suggestions in the comments: https://lemmy.world/post/660260

By the way, if you order from fenix-store, try discount code APP20.
