At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything but we do try to look for weak points in any design.
On dark, unlit roads the 1,000-lumen Boost enables you to see far enough ahead to avoid any obstacles and keep a good speed going. However, the benefits of the brightness come at the expense of battery life. It has a claimed run-time of an hour at 1,000 lumens, though I found I got slightly more than that. That's enough if you're doing a short commute, but if you're looking to take to the darkness for longer then it's a bit limiting.
Operating the light is really simple: two buttons allow you to scroll through the modes easily and quickly – in the solid modes, higher with the plus button, lower with the minus; in the flashing modes, changing the patterns. The buttons are easy to operate, even in full-finger gloves. NiteRider says: 'Boasting 1000 lumens with a sleek form factor and a collimator lense that lends to a brilliant and even light beam pattern! NiteRider® makes this newcomer USB-C rechargeable for convenient on-the-go charging. A feature of note on the 1000 are color-coded light modes shown through the dual button power switch. Its light weight at 193 grams makes it quite suitable as a helmet mountable option as well as bar compatible''standard and oversized diameters.
There are lights offering claimed higher output for less, such as the Ravemen LR1600 at £115, and the Magicshine Ray 2600B for £129.99, and keeping to lower outputs there are much cheaper options: Cateye's AMPP 1100 is £79.99, Lezyne's Micro Drive Pro 1000+ is £75, and Gaciron's Kiwi-1200 is £65.It has a good quality beam for riding at night and is bright enough to make you feel safe around traffic. The mount is also great, and easy to swap between bikes.
