Are my search capabilities just shit?? But can anyone recommend good lights? I like the GoPro mount feature as I have the peak design phone holder with the connection underneath but the state of bike lights is such a fucking mess. I want USB-C charging, and a max 800(ish) lumens but trying to find this is hard. Garmin has a couple smart options but I don’t use bike computers

@auxonic @grivettcarnac It really is. I haven't trusted search results for some time. <looks at MagicShine> $700 for a light? 😳

@WTL @auxonic yes those have been all over my search results. Like what the fuck, who wants or needs a $700 bike light? There seems to be little in between shitty $35 lights you have to buy on Amazon and complicated gizmos

@grivettcarnac @WTL what I really want is a bolt on front and back light. Basically dynamo style with a nice click on battery that can be removed. Uses a standard 18650 battery inside. Doesn’t exist. Even on aliexpress

@auxonic @WTL uhhhh that would be great.

@auxonic @grivettcarnac I'd like front/back lights that would mount cleanly under my luggage racks, with a wire that heads to the handlebar switch and removable battery.

🤔 I guess I should just make one myself.

@johnefrancis @grivettcarnac @WTL I think more VC/techbro billionaires should work in sweatshops
