NiteRider Pro 1400 Race, High Performance Lightweight MTB Race Bike Light, 1400 Lumens of Max Output. Durable Bicycle Front Light. Excellent MTB Beam Pattern

I waited 5 months to do a review on this light and all I can say is how great it is to have a good light when I ride. I do use this light sparingly, meaning it gets used a couple of times a week when it rains and also now that winter is here, it gets a little dark when I get off of work and this light has done me no wrong. ( I've only charged it once since I have had it. The higher beam would need charging more often. ) I've only used it on its low setting because the other settings would literally blind the drivers off the road. It has great distance and the width of the beam is on par because I am always watching out for nails. This has withstood multiple down pours and now that its winter, its handling great. I would buy again definitely!

This is a very good light, but the lumen rating is deceiving. The beam is a mixed beam (not quite flood nor tight focused beam, but a middle road for both). I have a self-contained 1100 lumen light from NiteRider and the beam is tight - and seems (to the eye) to be much brighter than this... but that's becasue the light isn't being diffused like with the Pro 1400. A great lite - for slower & trail riding. If you are on the road or using an e-bike where you will be going over 15 miles an hour, you will want a more focused beam. I use this as my 'low beam' and my helmet mounted light as my main beam. (helmet light is seen in picture mounted next to the Pro 1400 on a hyper-scooter that will go over 45mph).

These lights were very good and I really liked them...BUT....the power packs were not that great..they were expensive and did not make it through the summer.....I gave my lights to another rider bought a different brand....I would be glad to give these 5 stars but not the power packs.

I've smacked it around alot and had plenty of accidents with it on the bike and it hasn't broken or scratched much, on the 3rd and 4th setting I usually get 3-4 hours out of it, only have to charge it one in three rides usually. I use it in pitch black conditions and it's brighter than the older halogen bulbs on car headlights sometimes. It's a hard sell at 200 bucks but it can be the difference between you seeing something and running it over and going over the bars, or avoiding it entirely

I've purchased many items from NiteRider in the past few years and I've always enjoyed their products. The quality is always there. They're a bit pricey, but the product speaks for itself. I'm using this particular light assembly on my mountain bike. In fact, I have a different model (dual headlamp) on my street bike (3600). Excellent beam coverage. I even get high beams from cars if not aimed properly. Very, very bright. Yes, I've purchased other cheaper lights (non NiteRider) but the quality isn't there. They seem to put a lot of thought into their products. Yes, I would definitely recommend NiteRider products to others.

This light stopped working after approximately 35 uses (40 minutes average each use). I use it to trail ride, and it can really spook you when all of a sudden the light SEEMS to turn off. Battery has 4 bars, and I put my hand in front of the lamp and I see light reflected, but it as if it chooses at random to go to the "walking alongside the bike" 100 lumens. 100 lumens is dangerous at best, as is akin to brakes failing while going down a hill. I've been A NiteRider fan ever since the small acid battery days that would dangle like a 5 pound weight from the front of the bar. I was skeptical of all other brands until the NiteRider lights I purchasing started only lasting a year, averaging 4 night hours a week. That's not much. Light and Motion lights don't have as long lasting of batteries, but at least they've never just stopped giving light halfway down a hill. I would stay clear of NiteRider lights.

Had mi newt for many years. Battery would not charge any more. Went from 250 lumens to 1400. I can be seen clearly in daylight. Night time is ridiculous. Ordered cherry bomb to replace my older rear battery powered light. It still works just need more light. Daylight Savings is here so many late rides after work are no problem.

I ride my road bike in the dark and I prefer this style of light over the lights designed for road bikes. This is a great light; easy to mount and charge. I'm replacing a similar unit that is probably five or six years old now and this is a huge improvement in lighting and battery life. I'm real glad I did the upgrade.
