NiteRider Lumina 1100 OLED Boost USB Rechargeable MTB Road Commuter LED Bike Light with Display Screen Powerful Lumens Water Resistant Bicycle Headlight, LED Front Light Easy to Install

UPDATE YEAR 4: Fantastic Product! My NiteRider 1100 is still as solid as new. Using & charging 5 nights a week, 2 hours per ride, it still holds nearly 90% of its original battery power.Power 3, which is the high power is so bright that I avoid using it unless on a road with few to no vehicles. The ultra bright beam upsets drivers, which I avoid at all costs, so I use always on Power 1, which gives me around 6.5 hours on a fresh charge or Power 2, with just over 2 hours of charge.-> My 5-Star recommendation stands strongMy extensive review reflects the importance of riding with the proper headlight when cycling at night and this is the #1 on my safety riding gear, tied along with my helmet. The NiteRider Lumina 1100 Headlight is a fantastic piece of engineered hardware fitted into one of the most durable and compact sizes available. The unit feels (and is) expensive with a near-bulletproof housing that is watertight and a delight to operate, turn on and off, snap off to recharge and snap back on. The many light modes will satisfy all cyclers including those who mistakingly use the DFL Daylight Flashing Light to ride at night. The OLED display screen is clear, always legible, bright and the information displayed is fairly accurate, specially the ride time (realtime battery).My cycling is always nighttime and prior to the NiteRider, I used 2 other rechargeable headlights. It was only when using my NiteRider that I confirmed how bad, how lousy the other headlights performed. At over 1.5 hours, my rides are long and a great headlight is critical. The NitRider is a life saver not only because you can NOW clearly see what's ahead of you 150 feet or more, but because others will always see you on the highway. The 6000k LED bulb and its multi-reflective housing produces a very bright, crisp beam the will cover over 1/2 of the highway lane, depending on how you direct it.Ride time battery life is good and I wish it was better. Since my night riding exceeds 1:30 hour, I have to use the NiteRider's mid-level brightness which when powered up, offers me 3:00 hours of excellent lighting. Although I'd like to use the full 1,100 lumens brightness, that would offer me about 1:05 hours, not enough for my ride. Recharging the NiteRider takes quite a while and going from 35% remaining battery to 100% takes about 2.5 hours on a powerful 24w charger or more than 3.5 hours on a smaller one.My most important criticism goes to the handlebar strap mount whose quality is lacking and definately not on par with the headlight unit. Although it's very easy to remove and reinstall the NiteRider onto its mount, it feels and is flimsy, often times moving, rotating the headlight off position when handling it.NOTE: My first NiteRider Lumina 1100 was defective not holding charge and within a few days from purchase had to be returned for replacement. NiteRider's Tech support was excellent, always available, they did some troubleshooting and immediately recommended the replacement.My wish for all nighttime cyclers is that you PLEASE use the correct solid headlight beam when you're on the highway and STOP using the DFL Daylight Flashing Light to ride at night which is dangerous. The headlight flashing strobe effect endangers fellow riders and oncoming drivers.

I simply Love this light with OLED ( display ) significantly more than the same lumina 1100 series that doesn't have OLED even though it cost 50% more ( $50 )...$150 for Lumina 1100 with OLED$100 for Lumina 1100 wout OLEDBoth lights have Boost ( double click get max lumens 1100 ).The display is extremely useful:a. shows when buttons are lockedb. shows % charged when 1st powered upc. shows % left for each light moded. shows time left for each light modeThe page button makes it extremely easy to see, identify and select the different light modes...I know it cost 50% ( $50 ) more than exact same lite without the display, but knowing exactly or even approximately how much charge I have left is crucial as I don't want to suddenly run out of battery life in middle of an evening ride...Another nice feature is when charging can see how much of a charge the device already has which indirectly let's you know how much more charge is needed to be 100%Would be nice if it list time remaining to complete charge..The Cyclery is the vendor on Amazon I purchased mine from...The Cyclery did an excellent / Superb job delivering the light the same day for free...I purchased the light on Friday 5:26am and it was delivered the same day some time before 9pm.I don't know exact time because I was out riding...I'm glad the light was delivered same day because the other 1100 non OLED light slipped out of mount, hit ground and couldn't get light to work or respond to button.So I was able to go home and use the OLED version that was delivered to continue riding that evening...Another really cool item is not only did The Cyclery deliver light same day for free, it was 100% fully charged...I have full confidence in NiteRider as I called and talked with their support team before I ever bought any of their products and they assured me they would take care of any issues I encountered...NiteRider has been around so I feel comfortable and confident they'll be there should I need help or service and they'll deliver on their promises...I just spent in past 2 weeks ~ $1300 in bike computer, lights, radar, etcs...This light is definitely worth it... $50 won't matter over time...Apologize pics aren't clearer / crisp...For some reason my phone couldn't focus and get clear pic of blue LEDS...OLED on light is very crisp and easy to read...

I bought this as a second light -- my primary light is a great Buch and Muller IXON Space that does a great job of illuminating the trail without blinding other trail users but since it's aimed so low at the ground, there are some long dark stretches where I wanted something that would illuminate farther down the trail and make it easier to see dark-clad pedestrians.On most nights, even low mode on this light is enough to see far down the trail -- Like most standard bike lights, when this light is aimed far forward, the beam pattern is blinding to approaching cyclists/pedestrians, so when I see someone approaching, I tip the light down at the ground to avoid blinding anyone.On rainy nights, I use the medium setting to better light up the wet trail. I've never found it necessary to use the high or Turbo modes.I like the OLED display since it shows exactly which mode the light is in and how much battery is left, and it allows for a more functional interface by using one button to change main modes and the other to change brightness/sub-modes within the main modes.My only complaint is battery life - I get about 5 hours of life on Low before it needs to be recharged, my other light lasts about twice that. But it's a minor complain, as even 5 hours of battery will get me through several days of commuting.
