A 1600-lumen front bike light

With a maximum output of 1,600 lumens, the Ultratorch CL1600 is designed for cyclists who want more than just a basic signal light.

This power output is particularly useful when cycling on a dark country road, a poorly lit cycle path or a gravel track. It allows you to better spot obstacles and uneven surfaces ahead of the bike.

However, the brightness should be adjusted to suit the riding conditions: in town or when another road user is approaching from the opposite direction, it is recommended that you use a lower brightness setting and aim the beam correctly so as not to dazzle other road users.

An LCD screen for better battery life management

One of the advantages of the CL1600 is its LCD status display. It shows which mode is selected and allows you to monitor the remaining battery life.

Oxford states that the battery life ranges from 1 to 80 hours, depending on the mode selected. This range means the torch can be used equally well for a short outing at high power as for a long hike using a more economical mode.

A handy Power Bank function for long outings

The Ultratorch CL1600 isn’t just for lighting the way. Its USB Power Bank function also allows you to charge another USB-compatible device.

This feature can be particularly useful for bikepacking, cycle touring or long-distance rides, when you may need to top up the battery of a GPS, smartphone or other electronic device.

A quick and versatile CLIQR Mini mount

Oxford The CL1600 comes with a CLIQR Mini mount designed for fitting to the handlebars. The mount is designed for a 35 mm diameter, with an adapter that also allows it to be fitted to 31.8 mm handlebars.

This system allows you to quickly attach and remove the light, which is handy when you leave your bike parked and want to keep the light with you.

Designed for regular rides

The extruded aluminium housing provides a robust construction suitable for regular use. The IPX4 rating means the light is protected against splashing water, making it suitable for rides in light rain or damp conditions, although it should not be considered a product designed for submersion.

Expert tip: don’t automatically choose the 1600-lumen mode. On a dark, open road, the maximum brightness may be appropriate, but in urban environments or when encountering other cyclists, a lower setting is generally preferable. Also, angle the beam slightly downwards to improve your visibility whilst minimising the risk of dazzling others.
