LezyneMicro Drive 800+ Front Light(Return to Product Page)

I commute in Seattle a couple days a week year around and bought this 15 months ago with the hope of being able to take the round-about way home when its not raining. However, the battery life even on the 100 lumen economy mode was just over 3 hours instead of the 10 hours advertised when new and now it's down to closer to 2 hours so I need to pack my old headlight as a backup if I want to get in some extra miles. When I do need the full power on unlit gravel trails, it does a great job lighting things up but that kills the battery very quickly. If you don't mind charging often, it's a fine light but don't expect to be out too long after dark.

The light is compact, very sturdy, and offers a bright beam for use.

I have a Cygolyte Dash 460 that I use in flash mode while commuting to work. In December I was riding in darkness and added the Lezyne to illuminate the ground in front of my bike. It's very bright with a good light pattern that stretches out quite a ways in front. Plus it's bright enough that oncoming car headlights don't 'wash out' the light from the Lezyne and leave me blind.

I ride in an area that has some activity and people can see me better
