The top 8 best 2000 lumen bike lights

Table of Contents

In this article I’m going to feature some of the best 2000 lumen bike lights.

2000 seems to be about the sweet spot for bike lights meant for adventure-style riding, gravel rides, bikepackers and mountain bikers. Unless you’re running highly technical trails and going downhill, 2000 lumen is more than enough to increase visibility to the point where you could just as well be riding during the daytime.

That means that in general you don’t need this much power for your average daily commute, unless of course your commute includes a trail.

I’ve included some well-established, long-standing brands between their lesser known companions, and manufacturers who have decided to try their hand in the high-output bike lights category.

The majority of the bike lights on this list have integrated batteries. That means that, in combination with a 2000 lumen output, they are among the biggest lights with integrated batteries.

And they offer all features you’ve come to expect in a standard high-end bicycle light. Multiple LED’s with both flood- and spotlights, multiple programs, battery indicators, and the like.

So with that out of the way, let’s head over to my list of the best 2000 lumen bike lights.

Towild BR2000 Bike Light

The Towild BR2000 Bike Light is the powerhouse in the budget-oriented front bike lights department.

Offering 2000 lumens in a triple-style LED’s setup. With 2 flood- and a single larger spotlight, it offers a soft wide beam perfect for adventure riding and mountain biking.

It has a 5200 mAh battery in a IPX6 waterproof aluminum housing, that can be strapped to your handlebars. The battery doubles as a powerbank with a USB out port at the back.

Two buttons on top of the light let you control the floodlights and the spotlight, with various independent settings. And a 4 dot LED indicator shows you the remaining battery life. This simple yet effective setup makes it easy to use the light.

So on paper, and in the wild, it offers some excellent statistics for an incredible price, and the aluminum design looks pretty slick as well.

Fenix BC30 Bike Light V2.0

The Fenix BC30 Bike Light V2.0 is an incredibly affordable yet powerful front bike light, with a 2200 lumen output generated by a 5200 mAh battery.

You cannot expect much more than a bright light for that kind of money, let alone 3d accelerometers like those found in the Exposure lights. But what you do get surely deserves a place on this list.

The biggest drawback in terms of price is that batteries are NOT included in the package, which means the sub-100 dollar price tag isn’t the one you’ll actually be paying, unless you just happen to have two 18650 Li-ion batteries lying around. But the fact you can take as many of those batteries with you could also be considered a great way of never running out of juice for your bicycle light.

What’s also very important to realize is that batteries have a finite lifespan, especially if you use them often. And the fact this light uses readily accessible batteries means you can also use the light itself. None of the other lights I’ve reviewed work this way. Batteries will eventually wear out and will prove to be hard and expensive to fix, if you can fix them at all.

The 18650 batteries Fenix offers themselves go from 2600 mAh up to 3500 mAh, so you can put up to 7000 mAh into this light. The price ranges from $9.95 to $25.95. You can then simply carry an extra cheaper set with you, if you’re afraid of running out of juice. Or you can buy a battery and charger bundle for $41.95 and be done with it.

The two batteries are placed in a tray that slides into the aluminum encasing. You can pull the tray out of its housing by turning and then pulling on a metal ring at the end.

It does have a bluetooth remote so you can easily use this light mounted on your helmet as well, which, for the price, is an incredible extra value.

The lack of batteries out-of-the-box, but your ability to take as many of them with you, is both kind of let down and very useful. The powerful light, with a remote for a very decent price is nothing short of impressive.

The light has a very solid design and will last you long enough for a good entry level price. This is also the most sustainable light, which I consider to be a great plus as well.

Magicshine ALLTY2000 OLED Power Bike Light

The Magicshine ALLTY2000 OLED Power Bike Light is a 2000 lumen front bike light, just as the name suggests.

It has a standard Garmin mount, which is a nice touch should you want to hang this light underneath your computer out front.

The body is made from aluminum and plastic and its IPX5 rating means it’s waterproof.

There’s one spot- and one floodlight, so two LED’s overall to light up your path. A third strip is for close up lighting and daylight running.

Exposure Race MK15

The Exposure Race MK15 sales page explicitly states this light is for XC riders, which could be the reason it’s the smallest offering in their MTB category. Small being not that small at all since this light with a £250.00 price tag gives you a 2200 lumen output and a 5800 mAh battery.

So why is this light so expensive compared to the other ones on this list? The thing with this light is that it has 3d accelerometers, just like your smartphone. So it knows whether you’re moving and which way you’re moving and how fast you’re accelerating or decelerating. And the light adjusts its output accordingly. The Race MK15 is their entry-level option with this type of technology they call Reflex.

Besides this smart mode you also have the choice of 10 other modes with variable settings in each mode.

There’s an optional GoPro mount and Garmin mount available. They don’t offer their own front mount bracket, which is a shame. But with a K-Edge Go Big On-Center Mount you’d get there eventually. And if you’re willing to spend that much money on a light, you might be willing to spend the extra 50 dollars to get it in the correct place as well.

The light is an absolute gorgeous piece of kit with an astonishing amount of technology on-board. Exposure has truly created the next step in bicycle lighting. There really is nothing like it in the market.

Gemini Duo Multisport

The Gemini Duo Multisport is a gorgeous 2200 lumen bike front light powered by a 4000 mAh external battery.

With 2 LED’s in an anodized aluminum housing it has a premium feel, that can light the way between 2 to 50 hours, and weighs a modest 253 grams.

The 2 LED’s offer a solid round beam that make them useful enough for mountain biking, and make them more than adequate for anything else.

The light comes with a lot of extras straight out-of-the-box, including everything you need to turn it into a helmet light.

Additional mounting options are available to make the light compatible with either a GoPro or Garmin mount.

10 different modes are easily accessible using the wireless remote.

A single button on the back of the light is also used to indicate the battery level with 4 different colors. And the battery pack itself also holds a 5-LED indicator.

Knog PWR Mountain 2000 Front Bike Light

Knog is of course well known for their happy multi-colored frog lights. With their PWR modular system they’re taking on the competition in the premium bicycle lighting department. The Knog PWR Mountain is their most powerful light at 2000 lumen powered by a 10000 mAh battery.

The lights have a modular setup, which means that the light and battery are two separate units. When buying as a singular package the most obvious feature is that the battery doubles as a power bank as well. Another great feature is that this modular nature means you can buy as many spare batteries / power banks as you want.

The power bank feature is awesome, because such a function is usually only reserved for lights with external batteries. And since you can very easily detach the light from the handlebar the power bank functionally is more user friendly, because you can power your phone, let’s say, while drinking a cup of coffee.

The PWR modular system is extremely well designed with anodised black units splashing bright red colors. And Knog went beyond bicycle lights by enabling you to power such devices as a portable speaker, lantern, and the obvious function as flashlight.

There’s an adapter mount so you can use the light with any Garmin, K-Edge, and GoPro tri-prong mounts. And you can also opt for a front mount.

That means that besides the advantage of the power bank functionality, the light has to perform well in the department you’ll want to use it for the most: illuminating the road ahead.

The twist function of the light to switch modes is great and easy to use while mounted on a helmet. This feature is also the on and off switch and lets you cycle through any of the 6 programs. Programs that can be fine tuned using Knog’s app.

Knog has crammed a ton of features into one of the best looking front lights with integrated batteries. It’s a premium solution with a broad appeal beyond just mountain biking.

Light & Motion Seca Race

The Light & Motion Seca Race offers an incredible beam pattern from its four LED setup.

An external battery powers a row of 3 spotlights and a single floodlight ensuring an incredible wide field of view that’s being covered.

At 355 grams it’s not the lightest, but that doesn’t mean you can’t mount this light on your helmet with the included strap.

A hooded design made from plastic encases the waterproof body and ensures oncoming traffic isn’t blinded, though the beam characteristics make this the type of light you’d want to take with you on your next trail run.

The large switch on top of the light is made for operating while wearing gloves, and doubles as a battery indicator.

While drastically reduced in price, it still sits at the top end of the spectrum of lights with this type of output. But on the other hand the beam quality is one that’s up there as well.

Light & Motion Seca Comp 2000

The Light & Motion Seca Comp 2000

It’s obvious that Light & Motion know what they’re doing. They’ve been around long enough. This means that both spotlights and the single floodlight characteristics of this 2000 lumen light are excellent and to be expected from a bicycle light with this high price tag.

Furthermore the light offers a lot of well-known design characteristics and has probably served as the benchmark for front light design in the industry.

Its IP67 rating means its body weighing 216 grams is fully waterproof.

The power button offers different colors to indicate the battery level, and fast-charging happens with a micro USB.

A single thick strap keeps the light in place on the handlebars. And a GoPro adapter comes in the box as well.

The line shines in the commuting department, because the hooded design, when well mounted, ensures you’ll never blind oncoming traffic. And 2000 lumens at full blast for about 2 hours ensures that just about anyone will be able to reach their work before the light starts fading.
