I purchased this front/rear light set and was shocked at how bright they are. The front light does an excellent job lighting up a public bike trail in the city where I live. The trail is a 3.3 mile loop that starts in a public park area but runs through about 1.5 miles of woods and dirt trails. I put the rear light in the steady blinking mode which was very bright as well.The only drawback in my mind was the almost 3 hours it took to charge them.

This is by far my favourite road bike light. I’m actually buying this as my second light. I also have a lezyne 1300 lumens, but use this one much more. Why? It’s all to do with the actual light modes you can use. What I use this for are mainly 2 things. At full blast, (1000 lumens fully on), and also on daylight flash mode, (flashing BUT also at 1000 lumens). The other higher lumen models actually DO NOT offer a high lumens daytime flash mode, so you are only really getting the high lumens when the light is only on full blast (no blinking). In fact, it’s hard to find lights that allow you to flash at FULL LUMENS. So for me, this is by far the best combo. It’s also much lighter. if Lezyne ever offers a higher lumens daytime flash, I’ll pick up one of those, but until ... MoreThis is by far my favourite road bike light.

Very good light. It has a lot of modes, but remembers which one you're in when you turn off/on. Overdrive mode is great because it's simple to flick between very bright for unlit roads, and regularly bright for urban roads. Both those settings are fantastic, and compared with other lights, definitely seem to deliver the promised 1000 and 500 lumens. Flashing modes would be great for city driving too. I've given it only four stars (which might be a little harsh but fractions aren't allowed!) because of a couple of niggles. The USB cover is quite tight. Presumably this is to get the IPx7 waterproof rating, but who really needs that on a bike light? Second, and to a large extent this is a personal preference, but I just don't get the strap mount. It feels quite tough ... MoreVery good light. It has a lot of modes, but remembers which one you're in when you turn off/on.

It feels quite tough and durable, but they're never quite as easy to use especially on cold winter mornings as a fixed mount on the handlebars - ideally lights should be versatile enough to do either.
