Sebring Prep continues!!! Bike lights / Batteries Dial in time!

Hey EZ nice to see you up Boynton Beach area today! Can I as a rather DUMB question? Why do you leave your bike light on, after it’s daylight? Signed Jan

Hello Jan, Thanks for your email and remember, no question is dumb! Nice to see you today and I managed to crank out a nice 70 miler, in preparation for the 24 hours of Sebring, February 18/19th. Not only do I need to get the miles in, but so do my bike light batteries! 12 hours of that event will be in the dark and on a race track, (Sebring – an old airport) that likewise is VERY DARK. Unlike other raceways, there is no lighting and so you better have a really good light system; if you intend to do this event. So that’s why you saw my lights during the daylight hours; as I’m conditioning the batteries, so they will be dialed in for the event. For now, (With my present battery) I can do about 3.5 hours at 1600 lumens! (Brightness) BUT I plan to drop that down to 1200 Lumens and thus my hours run time should be in the 4 to 6 hour range. So the 2 batteries I have now, (plus 2 that came with my lights) should be the perfect setup.
