Knog PWR Trail 1100L
The 4th place in the list of the best bike lights is Knog's PWR Trail 1100L. It does more than just light the path; it also functions as a power bank, allowing you to charge your phone or GoPro, remove it from the mount and use it as a torch, or swap out the light head to power additional PWR accessories like the PWR Sound speaker or the PWR Lantern. In this test, no other light comes close to matching the PWR's versatility. It's simple to turn the light on and off; simply twist the light head. It's a fantastic method that eliminates the need for any type of button. If you want to utilize the battery as a power bank or when it's time to charge the unit, press the red release button on the unit to take the light attachment off.
At max mode, the PWR Trail 1100L produces a beautiful, even, wide beam. The light lasted for 3 hours and 40 minutes in Mid mode (600 Lumens), exceeding the promised runtime by almost an hour. The small LEDs of the PWR Trail 1100L on the side indicate remaining battery life. Knog's large lamp has only a few drawbacks. First, of the test lights, the mounting system is the most popular. It seems very complicated, but it makes it simple to run the light underneath your handlebars.
Given that this light's name includes the word "Trail," it's likely that it'll be targeted at mountain bikers. However, the mount is only compatible with handlebars up to 31.8mm in diameter; most recent mountain bikes use 35mm bars. In comparison to the competitors, it's also heavy and long. Of course, if you're interested in the PWR Trail 1100L for reasons other than its light beam, that's a small factor. Adventurers will appreciate this light; consider bikepacking, camping, and lengthy adventure rides.
