Bike Headlight Updated
Published on HivePostify by @kiwibloke · Thu Jul 16 2026
This is something I have wanted to do for a while. Get a brighter front headlight. So hit my favourite online cycle shop and after looking at a few options decided on the [Ravemen K450 Front Light](https://www.evocycles.co.nz/Product/608933/ravemen-k450-front-light). Visit the link to see the specs, the price at this date was $55.46NZ (on sale).
Note, I was looking for a light that can be charged with a USB-C port, which is my prefered port.
Performance Parameters | brightness | lumens | runtime | | :---: | :---: | :---: | | high | 450 | 2.0 hours | | mid | 300 | 3.5 hours | | low | 150 | 6.5 hours | | pulse | 300 | 28 hours |

It was straight forward to mount and charge the unit in the lounge (which one does with any new shiney toy) at 6am. Talk about bright the moment I turned it on, wow! The power button will take a while to get used to, a bit of pressure is needed to hold it down the 1.5secs in order to turn it ON or OFF (3.5secs for the intelligent daytime riding mode, I don't intend to use this function)
Once on (pulse) subsequent button pushes cycles high > mid > low > pulse etc
That's all I needed to know, time to hit the streets
I didn't leave home until around 7:40am and already the sun was rising but still dark enough to see how all the traffic signs lit up in pulse mode. I am extremely happy with the change' I'm just hoping it doesn't annoy oncoming traffic.

I did a lot of stopping today, taking many pictures and videos and generally having a great time out there. At that time of the morning with traffic head one way mainly out of the surburb, a peaceful ride. 18km is a decent distance to do a small test. BTW KFC is not open this early in the morning.
