It’s not easy to find a front light that hits the sweet spot between size, brightness, and versatility — but the Ravemen FR300 might be the answer for urban cyclists and roadies alike.
I’ve been using the FR300 for a few weeks now, and here’s why I think this little gadget deserves a spot on your handlebar.
Key Highlights for Ravemen FR300:
- Compact but Bright
The FR300 packs up to 300 lumens in a compact, minimalist body. It’s more than enough for daytime visibility and low-light riding, especially on well-lit roads or city commutes. For rural or pitch-dark rides, it’s still useful as a secondary light. - Built-in USB-C Charging + Power Bank
One of the best features? It charges via USB-C — finally, no more micro-USB annoyance. It also doubles as a power bank to top up your cycling computer or phone during longer rides. It’s saved me once when my iGS630S was about to die mid-ride. - Battery & Mode Indicators
The FR300 features clear battery and mode indicators, so you always know how much power is left and which mode you’re using—no guessing needed. - Side Visibility
The wrap-around design ensures you’re not just visible from the front — cars approaching from the side can see you too. - Mounting & Build
Installation is tool-free with the included handlebar mount. The unit feels solid, water-resistant, and blends well with modern bike aesthetics. It doesn’t feel bulky or cheap like some other lights in this price range.
Real-World Usage:
I use the FR300 mainly for daytime running light (DRL) mode. The pulse and flashing modes are great for increasing visibility in traffic. I also like that it doesn’t blind pedestrians or oncoming cyclists — a common problem with some overly bright units.
The battery life is decent. You’ll get several hours depending on the mode. For casual riders or commuters, charging it once or twice a week should be more than enough.

Final Thoughts
The Ravemen FR300 is not the cheapest light on the market, but it’s incredibly functional for its price. Between the OLED screen, USB-C charging, DRL performance, and power bank feature, it feels like a smart investment — especially for those who want form and function in one compact package.
If you’re looking for a smart, reliable front light with a few neat tricks up its sleeve, the FR300 should be high on your list.
