Nitecore 1800 lumens bike light
The BR35 bike light from Nitecore uses 2 x Cree XM-L2 U2 LED bulbs for far and close-up illumination, giving a lumen output of 1800 on the highest setting with a throw distance of 175 meters / 192 yards. Part of our top-rated bike lights list due to its high lumen output, features, and fair price. The light comes with a remote control that’s attached near your hand so you can operate the light without having to take your hand off the handlebar. There are 4 brightness levels to toggle between, and as 3 city light modes, and a flashing warning light. Operates on a built-in 6800 mAh battery that’s rechargeable with the included USB cable.

Product summary with current price and store page link
If you are looking for something bright for your night rides, the BR35 is a great choice. Packed with features and easy to operate, impact-resistant and IPX7 waterproof rating make the bike light usable in any kind of terrain, even if it’s raining. Popular light with user ratings of 4.5 out of 5, from over 50 verified buyers makes this a safe choice. The only drawback for me personally is that it uses a built-in battery pack, so you can’t bring extra batteries and replace them for longer rides. But if you won’t need light for many hours, it’s worth buying. Included a runtime chart below so you can see how long the battery lasts on the various settings
- A 1000 lumen long-range beam and 800 lumen short-range beam combine for up to 1800 lumens of light. Select from 3 modes and get the right light for every ride
- Large, backlit buttons and a bright OLED display make operating the BR35 a breeze. Use the remote switch for added safety and the quick-release mount makes it easy to take on and off, no tools necessary
- The large 6800mAh Li-ion battery can be recharge directly via the included USB charging cable, making it easy to stay powered on the go
- Remote switch for easy one-handed operation, letting you keep your focus on the path ahead instead
