maybe a bit controversial but I've been using a Halfords own brand 'advanced' front light for years.
I use it regularly during winter commutes on unlit lanes.
it has a really good range of modes, great battery life with a really useful indicator on the top, can be used as a power bank if required, and even has an optional remote switch so can be mounted on forks or on a rack but still switched between modes.I think mine is the old 1000 lumen version.
looks like they've just refreshed the entire range. -
I don't like the looks, but I do like the specs & the price

Dynamo lights?
Second hand Exposure (we are still using 2 or 3 from ebay) or one of their helmet lights with a handlebar mount (I have a Joystick and Diablo, both bought new for just over £100 each I guess)?
I just checked and the Maxx-D V3 we have, I bought used off ebay in 2014!
Same year for the 2010 V1 version of the Strada we have - but this one is commuting only, it wouldn't last a full night.

Is there a current consensus about the best bang for your back on a light that can deal with illuminating pitch black roads or bikepacking at night?
I need something that goes slightly beyond just being seen, but nothing quite as mega as the top end of the Exposure range, as I would just double up with a headtorch if this was going to be the case.
