Review on πŸ’‘ LEZYNE eBike Lite Pro Drive 800 Switch Headlight: Powerful Illumination for Enhanced eBike Visibility by Peris Auditore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

More of a Micro Drive 500 headlamp?

ADVANTAGES: Consumes less than 7W of power, 6.7W nominal. Initially emits over 900 lux at 2 meters away. Very compact and discreet. This setup should fit any bike, either at the handlebar clamp or at the base of the head tube or anywhere along the forks. Supplied with various mounting brackets and hardware. The wires are pre-tinned. CONS: The kit does not include connectors for cables, neither with blades nor with ebike julet. The case gets very hot. If the bike stays lit for more than 10 minutes, the lighting is automatically reduced to 650 lux. Maybe it's some kind of overheat protection circuit? This can be reset by toggling the light on/off. Might be a problem in warm climates. 650 LUX is still good visibility. However, I could spend half the price of the LEZYNE 500 version on it. The external switch does not turn on or off. If you replace the light built into your e-bike and it already has an on/off function, you will need to turn it on and the LEZYNE switch on each time. While the LEZYNE switch offers flash and dim profiles, not all of us need them. Sometimes all we need is a very bright light period.
