Hi,
Looking at the new Lezyne Power Drive 2012.
http://goo.gl/GeKDT It's new but seems pretty bright in the shop and good build quality for the price. 300 Lumens too! Anyone have one yet?

I'd assume that the OP is a road rider. I think 1600 is really only appropriate for off road use.Faster than a tent.......0 -
Depends what it's being used for. It's Lezyne, so no doubt it will be well built.
Half way down the page of The NEW What Lights discussion threadI've been looking at the.....the lezyne super drive. Does anyone have any experience with these?supersonic wrote:Yes, they are, to be blunt, garbage.
Now, that is for MTBing, so what you need out of a light for that is very different to what you want a road light to be doing.0 -

Well, for me it will be mainly road use, I'm not a big off-road rider at night!0

Given your location, I expect it's unlit roads, so Tony's suggestion isn't a bad one. I have a similar one, with a diffuser lens on it and it's better (in my opinion) than my mate's £200+ exposure one for output. Longevity may be another issue...
My backup light is an LED lenser T7 torch on a cheap lockblock- similar price (£35) but more robust (2nd year of use) and more versatile (use off the bike).Location: ciderspace0 -
Combination of lit and unlit. Being noticed on the road is a struggle down here - I'll have a forum search for rear lights too. The one above for £30+ - it's well worth a look anyway isn't it! Probably going to get the Lazyne and use it on the helmet and go with the HK special on the bars!

Thank you, I'll have a look for sure! For £36 even if it only gives a few moths service it's well worth it!

If your riding unlit roads these are hard to beat ..

I run the more expensive version with the battery pack with an inbuilt battery indicator LED but the same power and it is plenty for unlit lanes at full speed.FCN 3/5/90
