How bright is the Fenix BC22R?

It reaches 1400 lumens in Turbo with a beam distance of about 512 ft (156 m). Lower modes cut output for longer runtime.

Is it safe for oncoming traffic?

Yes. The facula cut-off line shapes the beam so it lights the road without blinding other road users.

Can I mount it upside down or on a GoPro mount?

Only with the Fenix ALD-10 GoPro mount adapter, which is sold separately. The standard quick mount works right side up.

It carries an IP66 rating, so it resists rain and splashes, and the body is impact resistant.

Does it remember my last mode?

Yes, the memory circuit recalls your last setting, except for Flash mode.

What modes does it have?

Low, Medium, High, Turbo and Flash, selected with the illuminated switch.

Our take on the Fenix BC22R Rechargeable Bike Light

The Fenix BC22R is a rechargeable road bike light rated at 1400 lumens with a beam that reaches about 512 ft. Its facula cut-off line keeps the beam off oncoming eyes, and an IP66, impact-resistant body handles rain and rough pavement. A quick-mount bracket lets you pop it off between rides, and the illuminated switch cycles Low, Medium, High, Turbo and Flash with memory for your last mode. It suits road and commuter riders who want a bright, glare-controlled beam; riders wanting a GoPro-style inverted mount need the separate ALD-10 adapter.
