Most rechargeable bike lights use LED indicators to warn you when they’re low on power. And while that works well enough, it doesn’t give you a lot of flexibility when it comes to conserving your light use until things are usually too late. The Fenix BC30R changes that, throwing in an actual digital display that shows how much battery life you actually have left.
That’s right, this bike light comes with a small OLED display that shows the battery’s remaining run time. That way, you have accurate and actionable information that you can use to optimize the way you use the light, whether you’re pedaling across a backwoods trail during a vacation or biking home from work like you do every night.
The Fenix BC30R is a 1600-lumen bike light, giving you plenty of illumination, regardless of the prevailing conditions. To put that in perspective, using the medium-level setting should be enough to make your path seem daylight-bright on most nights, with the higher settings likely coming in handy only when you’re riding during inclement weather conditions. It uses a dual beam system that throws the light both near and far, ensuring you get even brightness both immediately in front and straight ahead.  Maximum beam distance is 509 feet, by the way, making for a bike light that just might be more powerful than many cars’ headlights. Features include aluminum alloy construction, IPX-6 water resistance, a remote pressure switch, a quick-release handlebar mount with two shims, and six light settings. It comes with a 5,200 mAh battery that can keep it running for over 20 hours in the lower setting and over two and half hours at 800 lumens.
Available now, the Fenix BC30R is priced at $139.95.
