Earlier this year I got the Lumintop B01 light:
https://www.lumintoponline.com/lumin...-p2093885.html
I' m impressed with the versatility of the light.
It is a very nice light for road riding on medium, high or turbo setting(useless on low though). It does not blind the upcoming traffic, the beam is almost like my German B&M I-Q-X light. It has a replaceable 21700 or 18650 battery, has a memory mode setting, works with auxiliary power bank plugged into the USB-C on the light. It has a decent mount and could be mounted into other regular flashlight mounts that is available everywhere. You can mount it above or bellow the handlebar.
It also often goes on sale for around $30.00.
P.S. IQ-X has a much nicer beam than the Luminton, but Lumintop beam is still very nice with decent battery life on high.

gotta say has been so durable and just the build of it to me is more pleasing to the eye. Ill post a picture when I get more posts under my belt but could be had for about 40 from the bike closet.

I recently got a Rock Bros 850lm w/10000 amp hour battery that has a daytime flash option (which I use a lot) and it can also serve as a power bank for any USB devices, IE; phone. It is more than bright enough for night riding along with my helmet spot light which I thoroughly enjoy doing. Lots of wildlife to be seen at night when riding an almost silent vehicle,
