Night Running in the Countryside

[Lisa3009]

In anticipation of dark mornings and nights and living in the back of beyond where I love to run, can anyone recommend some running lights? Thanks 💃💃💃💃💃

Personally, I prefer a headtorch, simply because it puts light where you are looking unlike chest lights, which many advocate.

None of my three headtorches are perfect, so I won't recommend any particular model.

One of mine is very bright, on its strongest setting, but stands too far away from my head and tends to wobble, which is annoying.

The one that fits best and wobbles least is not bright enough and does not have a rear light, which is essential if running on unlit roads. One has rechargeable batteries, but seems to self discharge if the batteries are left in the headtorch.

Just a few things to avoid and I hope someone can give some positive recommendations.

Happy running in the dark.

Thanks IannodaTruffe I’ve just been looking at Nightrunner270, they fit on your shoes. I wonder if it will be a matter of trial and error?

I have just looked those up......... incredible!!!

I can't imagine them actually casting light far enough ahead, due to their low position, but if you go with them, I would be intrigued to know how you get on.

I’ve ordered them so I’ll let you know.
