Primary Light - Handlebar

Your handlebar light is your main source of illumination, guiding you through the trail and revealing obstacles, terrain changes, and markers even in complete darkness.

What to Look For:

Brightness: At least 1500–2000 lumens for clear, wide visibility, helping you navigate technical sections.

Adjustable Brightness: Save battery when full power isn’t needed.

Long Battery Life & Spare Batteries: Essential for multi-day races—always carry spares to stay visible throughout the night.

Durability: Make sure your light is waterproof and shock-resistant for unpredictable conditions.

Recommended Products:
Our Endurance or Baviaans Bicycle Lights are top picks for night-time endurance events.

Spare Light - Headlamp

Instead of mounting a heavy headlamp on your helmet, keep a lightweight spare headlamp in your rear pocket. You can easily pop it on when needed—no neck strain, no hassle!

Why You Need It:

Backup Light: A safety net if your primary light fails.

Navigation: Easily read maps on the go.

Hands-Free Operation: Perfect for quick fixes or accessing supplies.

What to Look For:

Battery Life Over Brightness: Prioritize long-lasting power, ideally with replaceable batteries.

Recommended Product: The Jonkers Rechargeable Headlamp can run on its internal battery or 3 x AAA batteries—easy to swap out en route!

Why Spare Batteries Are Non-Negotiable

During a long race like The 36One, battery life can be a real concern. Carry spare batteries for all your lights—handlebar, helmet, and headlamp—so you’re never caught out in the dark.



Red Tail Light - Stay Seen from Behind

A reliable red tail light is crucial for safety, especially in low visibility or dusty conditions.

What to Look For:

High Visibility: Flash modes for better attention from riders and vehicles behind you.

Battery Life: Long-lasting with spares.

Weather Resistance: Waterproof and dustproof to withstand the elements.

Ease of Use: Simple to mount and adjust even while riding.

Recommended Products:
The Sensor and Flare lights both meet these requirements.
