Be good to hear some recommended front light options for night riding ?

I currently have a cheap but very cheerful Cree LED Far East jobby. Actually a decent and powerful light but on its way out and I’ve been through a few of these now so would like to hear what decent longer lasting alternatives people are currently using ?

Budget within reason up to £150 (hope to get a Black Friday deal)

For road / gravel use: Ravemen PR 1600 / 1200 @ £100.

For MTB off road: MTB Batteries Lumenator18 @ £115.

Or both!

Possibly over budget, though I got a deal on a previous years model, but I'm loving my Exposure Race.

Mtb batteries luminator is a fine bit of kit

Perhaps one of these for just a bit over

More gravel/less MTB? Ravemen PR1200 is a lovely and refined bit of kit with many good useful features and generous runtimes on open terrain. Add maybe a half-decent helmet torch for gnarlier sections?

More MTB/less gravel? What qwerty said. Or have a read of the Bikehut/Halfords thread?

Budget you can’t beat Luminator to be honest.

I ride Four4th and they are awesome. Especially if you are doing short trail runs. Crank it up to max then back down.
