Lux describes the beam on the road; lumens only describe the bulb · review
A 1,200 lumen USB rechargeable front light with an OLED screen that shows runtime, nine modes and an FL1-tested output.
Our conclusion The light to choose when you ride in real darkness.
Most cheap sets print a big lumen number. The Lumina tells you what it can really do, and how long you have left.
1,200 lumens, an OLED display showing mode, remaining runtime and battery level, nine modes, a double-tap Boost, a collimator lens for a wide beam, IP64 water and dust resistance, FL1 testing, Lock Out mode, a USB charger with IntelliCharge and a weight of 6.08 oz.
Without a standard, a lumen figure can mean anything. FL1 is a shared method for measuring flashlight output and runtime. Compare that with the Victoper and Ascher sets on this shelf, which claim brightness with no test method named.
Think about mount strength: at 6.08 oz, the light needs a firm grip on the bar on rough roads. Boost mode is the highest output, not the longest-lasting, so read the runtime on the screen and pick your mode for the length of the ride.

| Testing | FL1 tested for output and runtime |
| Charging | USB, with IntelliCharge |

FL1 is a flashlight output standard. NiteRider says output and runtime were independently tested to it, which gives the figures more weight than an unlabeled lumen claim.
No. The listing covers the front light. Add a tail light, such as the one in the Magicshine set on this shelf.
