The NightRover is a popular, economical rechargeable light. It's 12.5 watts of light (two 6.25 watt bulbs), is about the minimum wattage we'd say is needed to light up the road. The Gel-Cel battery will provide 3 hours of burn time on single beam, and 1.5 hours on dual beam. Recharge time is overnight (10-11 hours). If you frequently ride at night, or are a fast rider, get a Nitro or ARC light with more features (see below).

- 12.5 watts of halogen light
- Dual beam reliability
- Different beam pitches (one wide and one narrow)
- Frame mount battery (saves a waterbottle cage)
- Quick release mount
The HiFLux is a 3 watt LED with two brightness settings. The high setting is equivalent to 8-10 watts of halogen light, but offers much better burn time (6 hours) and a light NiMH battery. Recharge time is overnight (10-11 hours). If you frequently ride at night, or are a fast rider, get a Nitro or ARC light with more features (see below).

CygoLite Rover II LED XtraCygo's new Rover II is a vast improvement over both the verteran Night Rover, as well as their stalwart mid-priced commuter light, the Nitro. With two super-bright LEDs, the Rover II is as bright as a 15 watt halogen light, but it's burn time is a third longer, and the battery is much lighter. On top of all that, you'll never have to replace the light emitters, unlike incandescent bulbs.
The Rapid IQ charging system can recharge the battery in less than 5 hours automatically switches to trickle mode to prevent battery overcharge damage.
- Equivalent to a 15 watts halogen light
- NiMH bottle battery
- Beam pattern as wide as an incandescent light.
