More and more friends like cycling. Due to the relationship of work, the cycling time is usually only at night and on weekends. On holidays, night riding has become a popular choice. Because of the particularity of night riding, headlights become a necessity, so how to choose their own car’s headlights? Riding a bike at night without lights is like a black man catching crows in the middle of the night.

   First understand the basic knowledge of headlights. Bicycle lights are divided into self-electric type and battery-powered type. According to the installation position, they are divided into front lights, rear warning lights and wheel lights. Generally speaking, there are the following kinds of light sources: tungsten bulb, HID, LED. These basic knowledge to know, do not lead to the lamp to buy home, is what kind of do not know.

   The unit of light is lumen, but I prefer the German unit of light (lux). The larger the lumen, of course, the brighter the lamp. Is it safe to buy as bright as possible? This is absolutely false. Your light is bright can illuminate the front, but you also have to consider whether the other side of the car dazzling, need to be able to distinguish each other’s position is a safe choice, so do not choose to use a strong light flashlight as a simple headlight.

   Night riding lighting requirements are better flood light, light spot to be large, do not require to shine far away, near light to illuminate a large, and there should be an obvious cut-off line, can not interfere with the car, this is the need to consider the scope of our car lights.

   Night riding lamp equipment requirements are high seismic performance, because cycling may encounter uneven road, bumpy situation, if the seismic performance is not good, suddenly jump gear, lights out, it is easy to produce danger. Secondly, the lights of night riding should also have a certain anti-rain function, because no one can say what kind of weather will be encountered when riding, rain weather without lights, safety is more a hidden danger.
