For night usage I like something like the Exposure Blaze with its 80-lumen max output.įlash 1 on the Lezyne is the brightest, offering 25 lumens and a run-time of 8hrs which it achieved easily as I got between 8:05 and 8:15 consistently. The six flash modes use the LEDs in various flashing patterns so they do grab more attention than their lumen output would have you think, which is just as well. Blast gives you plenty of visibility in the dark out in the back lanes and in an urban environment too, when battling against the sea of light from other vehicles and streetlamps.Įnduro does a decent job if you want a solid-state light with decent battery life, but Economy could be culled as, at 3 lumens, it is just a glow. There are three constant modes: Blast (45lm/2hr15), Enduro (15lm/7hr), and Economy (3lm/30hr). The modes are split into three 'sections', constant, flash and day flash. Press and hold the power button to turn it on and single presses will scroll through the 11 – yes, 11 – modes, which use the five LEDs to create some pretty patterns. Straight out of the box the Strip Drive is easy to use.
