Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL
The first place in the list of the best bike lights is Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL. It edged out the NiteRider 1200 OLED Boost for the finest bike lights. Both lights are fantastic, however the Lezyne is $70 less expensive than the NiteRider. At the maximum setting, the Macro Drive lasted longer than any other headlight in the test, burning brightly for little under three hours. The Macro Drive lasted slightly under eight hours on the 450-lumen setting. The mount provides a secure mechanism that can be adjusted to fit handlebars of varying thicknesses. It's a substantial band that appears to have been designed to withstand the test of time. It's so thick that getting it to the right length to fasten it to the hook on the other end of the mount can be a challenge. However, once it's in place, it's simple to modify the location and the light remains stable.
The beam itself casts a broad light in front of you, with a concentrated area of light in the middle. If you'll be riding on dark roads and trails and need to see as much as possible, this is a wonderful option. With 1,300 lumens, you'll never be short of light. You can also install a remote switch ($15) that mounts closer to the grips on your handlebar. You can change the light level and pattern on the fly without having to take your hands off the bar. The Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL's sole serious flaw is its size. It's a little heavier for a light at 208 grams, and it takes up a little more handlebar space than the NiteRider 1200 OLED Boost's smaller mount. However, it appears that this is the only drawback to this bright light.
