🚲 Demystifying Night Rides: Serfas E-Lume Bicycle Headlight Sheds a Bright Light on Safety Review

More lumens for less money, Serfas comments and they don't lie. I ride off-road a lot at night and rarely get past 1200 lumens. Battery life for a given brightness seems pretty accurate. The jet pattern is excellent. The quick release mount is one of the best I've used.

The 900 is great for commuting and even entry-level mountain biking. The button has a nice click and is easy to operate with gloves. The way it turns on and off and also cycles through modes is perfect: hold to turn on or off, press to cycle through brightness levels. (Personally, I don't use flash mode.) Convenient battery indicator. The bracket is a little tricky to detach from the light, but it uses the same bracket as my previous Serfas headlight.

I really like this light. Low, medium, high and very bright. There is a flash for daytime driving. The only downside is that the charging port is poorly designed. The plug is difficult to insert into the socket. The point where you insert the plug is difficult to reach and when you finally plug it in, you will have a hard time making a solid connection to keep charging. I'm still glad I have it, but it's frustrating every time I want to charge this light. This is a sloppy design flaw.

I haven't even ridden this headlight yet, but I can already say that it's incredibly bright. The full brightness setting is so bright you can't even see the light. I took it outside with the brightest flashlight we have and it was almost as bright as that flashlight's lowest setting. It can shine really far. I can't wait to ride with him at night. Hard to believe that so much light can come from something so small. By the way, the dimensions given on the product are wrong. The listing says it…

For my daily commute I was looking for the brightest bike headlight without external batteries that would also charge with a USB cable and I found this model 1600. The battery life is for me no problem as my rear light (of the same brand) goes out before this front one. Even with continuous use at the highest level (1600 lumens). I also like the overheat protection feature and the ability to toggle between settings. It also snaps into place well after the strap is installed. This. I don't have…
