Best forCatEye's AMPP2200 is the high-output front pick for riders who need more light on unlit routes. CatEye lists a 2,200-lumen boost, a wide OptiCube beam with side visibility, USB-C charging, seven modes, and mode-specific runtime from about one hour at maximum output to 60 hours in flashing mode.Best cockpit-friendly front light. Magicshine lists a 1300-lumen high beam, cutoff-style low beam, USB-C charging, IPX6 sealing, and mounts that work with Garmin, Wahoo, Bryton, and GoPro setups. Pick it when bar space matters as much as output.
Main drawbackThe catalog lists runtime of 1.5–6 hours, which varies with mode.Choose this over the ALLTY if cockpit space matters. The mount setup is friendlier to riders stacking a light with a cycling computer or camera.

Other options to consider

Final verdict

Choose by the job first. CatEye AMPP 2200 is listed with lumens output: 2200 and runtime runtime hours: 1.5-6, while Magicshine HORI 1300S lists output: 1300 lumens and runtime: up to 9.5 h. These listed figures do not establish beam quality or real-world visibility. For a main beam, compare modes and mounting; for rear awareness, decide whether alerts matter. Catalog prices are $159.95 and $71.99. BikeSize did not measure brightness, runtime, or visibility, so this is a use-case match, not a test result.
