Light & Motion Vis Pro 1000 Blacktop

The last place in the list of the best bike lights is The Light & Motion Vis Pro 1000 Blacktop. It weighs only 121 grams and has a sleek and simple design. The Vis Pro is definitely worth a look if you're searching for a strong light that can save you some weight. If you prefer a wide beam, seek elsewhere because this one feels more focused than the others in the test. However, even at the highest 1,000-lumen level, the Vis Pro 1000 Blacktop gives plenty much light for city riding and light trail riding.

On the highest setting, Light & Motion claims that you should receive roughly 1.5 hours of run time. The Vis Pro 1000 Blacktop outlasted that number in testing, lasting slightly under two hours on the highest setting. Other lights in the test, even those with higher lumens, have a longer battery life. A handlebar mount and a GoPro-style attachment are included with the Vis Pro. With the help of a rubber band, the handlebar mount may readily fit different handlebar widths. The light can be removed from the mount and used as a flashlight or stowed in a pocket.

However, Light & Motion's "fast-release" technique is neither quick nor simple. To remove the light from the mount, release a little dial and then pull it backwards. This system might be improved to make it easier and faster to use. The Vis Pro additionally has amber lights on the sides that cast light on both sides of the rider for visibility. However, these lights aren't that bright and don't appear to be particularly useful. If you need a bright light but want to save a few grams, the Vis Pro 1000 Blacktop is the way to go. Look elsewhere if you want a wide beam, a long run time, or easy removal from the mount.
