Morning lights

For pre dawn starts.....especially that short of a duration, I prefer to run the minimum I can.

Most rides start with climbing...this you don’t need the Daylighter 8000 lumen lights. If gets light quick as soon as the sun begins to rise.

even with that said, 1200 lumens is plenty for a normal night ride.
 
For just 30 mins I'd just get a cheap chinese knockoff from Amazon. Or splurge on a Magicshine or PDW light. Magicshines are very nice now. Both of these are USB chargeable:

This is the light I've been using for the last 5 yrs or so. It works great, more than enough light for anything but fast descending. I usually run it in lowest setting for climbs, higher for descents. $60 https://ridepdw.com/collections/hea...over-700-usb-headlight?variant=11889006673977

Looking at Niterider they have some less bright / cheaper lights now. Honestly the Micro 650 would be plenty of light for what Jennifer needs. 900 would work too. If she does a lot of riding in the dark a second one can always be added.

No need to spend more than you need to. If it gets used a lot you can always add a helmet light. Better to have a second light as backup. too.
 
When I ride at night, I use a smaller light for the beginning climbs. My climbing light is the Lumina 750, but I'd have no problem going downhill with it.

I can say that they have a decent warranty, as well. Mine spent way too much time in the rain last year, and one of the seals must have given out. I emailed the company (in San Diego...) and they had a replacement out to me pretty quickly.
 
Jennifer wants to know if it comes in black? :whistling:
