I'm thinking of doing a long ride in the next couple of weeks, I need a front road light, 2am ish start leaves me needing light for 2/3 hours tops if I do it in the next month, that can charge USB and mount via Go-Pro under my Wahoo mount

Exposure seems to offer usb charging via a cable but only into usb mini-b, ideally I want something I can run a usb out of straight into a USB-C device, seems to be loads of bar mounted option, but I have propriety bars, so 🤷‍♂️

anything out there?

The Halfords light I have has a standard USB (A) out. No GoPro mount from the factory but you can screw one in as I have done.

it’s the Bikehut 1600lm one.

that might be ideal, some good options in the range, come with the go-pro adapters is a plus, nice price as well

willing to hear other options

Micro-usb, but the  https://www.ravemen.com/CR/CR1000.html can be mounted under an out-front mount, just needs the front unscrewing and the lens turning the other way up so you get the correct beam pattern.

Slightly crap video where I try and operate the light, my phone and my bike (down a pitch black lane) at the same time with one less hand than would be the real minimum for that:

Bike Hut 1000 Lumen here:

I bought mine back when they were about £20 still not a bad light for the current asking price IMO.

I've run Exposure Joysticks with their USB cable charging from a power pack on the top tube. Not been an issue. This was for long TTs. Does your power pack only have USB-C? Or just the charger?
