LEZYNE Lite Drive 1000XL Bicycle Headlight, Very Bright 1000 Lumens, 87 Hour Runtime, USB Rechargeable, High Performance LED Headlight for Mountain & Road Bikes

Product Information

The single top-mounted power switch changes colour to let you know how much power is remaining, while the side fins help to keep it cool.

I didn't use Economy or Femto much, but it is nice to know they are there, should you start to run out of battery. When you normally turn ON or turn O FF a Lezynelight, you hold the button down for 2 seconds. If you hold the button down for 5 seconds from OFF, it will enter Overdrive Race Mode. The light will confirm by flashing the LED while the button is held down. This means that all flashing modes are removed from the cycle of modes, and it will only toggle between the highest steady setting and the lowest steady setting. To leave this mode you can hold the button down for 5 seconds (from OFF) again, until the light confirms by flashing. Many of our lights feature Overdrive Race Mode. While it's a great feature, it can occasionally cause a little confusion. If your light is missing its flashing modes, or your light only has two modes, then you have probably activated this feature. The 150-lumen Economy mode isn't really bright enough to see much by; that's the one that Lezyne uses as the 'low' mode in the Race configuration – where you just get high and low beam – of the standard light, and because of that the Race mode isn't as practical as it could be. The joy of the smart set is that you can set up your own Race mode with whatever settings you want.Lezyne combines the best head- and rear lights and offers them paired. Powerful combinations with the best of both lights bundled. This ensures a great performance, makes choosing a head- ánd rear light easy and saves you money. The offered pairs are always cheaper then buying the LED’s loose. For the size of the light the run-times are pretty impressive, often over-achieving not just hitting the targets, in use.

The beam shape isn't anything particularly special – it's basically round, and a little narrower than some – but it's throwing out plenty of light for the money, and you can deal with more or less anything in Overdrive mode. The button has an LED beneath it which moves from green to red through amber, allowing you to keep an eye on how much juice you have left, and a full recharge will take between four and five hours depending on where the power is coming from. You get at least 100 minutes out of overdrive and 10 hours on economy, plus a massive 78 hours from the 15-lumen femto setting.When it's time to top up, the unit is USB rechargeable via a rubber covered flap at the rear, and a full charge takes around four hours. Charging the Lezyne Lite Drive 1000XL is easy with the included micro-USB cable. The headlight comes with a versatile strap, making it easy to attach to virtually any frame or handlebar. I have had two of these lights in frequent use for the past three years, an 800 and 1000. Both are mounted to the bars with an optional alloy clamp mount, which I believe is well worth the extra cost. Also, both of mine have external controllers. I use the wired controller with the 800 and a wireless controller on the 1000. Since technology marches on, the wireless controller is now offered with the 1300 lumen light, but mine is the slightly older and still totally adequate 1000 lm spec. All Lezyne LED-lights run on batteries. They are all rechargeable, some of the batteries are build-in and some can be removed/replaced. All batteries can be bought in the shop. USB rechargeable battery complete with charging cable means you do not have to buy batteries again.
