NiteRider6780 Lumina Oled 1200 Boost, One Size, Black

It's so difficult to understand HOW a bike light is going to work when you merely read about it on a website or ad. Even seeing videos done can't truly demonstrate the true brightness, lumens, or illumination pattern. Those things just don't translate properly so you end up taking risks if you don't see it demonstrated in person. This light won't disappoint any bike rider.I also have the NiteRider Dual 1800 Boost. I got that direct from the company because I had a discount to use there. That one WAS a bit more expensive, but both of these lights are nothing short of amazing. Ive been obsessed with the quest for bright bike lights for many years. I love night-riding on the community paths but I'm a mountain biker and want something lots of fun for riding trails and in the woods at night (which can be a huge challenge if you've tried it). The closest I got was a circular light that has a board with 14 (supposedly) Cree XML T6 elements. I had to remove the reflector in order to get a "wash" effect more like a floodlight. Now that one DOES have it's good qualities and was relatively cheap. I had to also modify it to mount it to a proper clamp, it looks a little goofy on the bike (no biggie' really), and it takes a chunky battery pack that has to be velcro strapped to the frame or head tube. THAT wasn't gonna' fly for my awesome carbon stumpjumper expert. THESE NiteRider lights are perfect!The light always defaults to the steady low-med-high beam when you turn it on.The display I thought was a brilliant idea. I wish the Dual 1800 had this display too.The 1800 also takes the same mounting clip so I can use either one depending on the requirement for that ride.It does have a bit of a "hot spot" which I typically don't like on most lights, but on these they kind of got that one just right. The "hot spot" isn't harsh and doesn't detract from the peripheral light around it. In other words it doesn't look like an older style flashlight with one spot lighting the area. It has a hot-spot and an softer cascade of light to the edge, illuminating the surroundings. Both of these lights really remind me of a vehicle headlight pattern which makes a lot of sense.The time remaining does drop significantly when you're in 'boost' mode, but this will work totally fine on its standard "high" setting. I notice the difference from high to boost more when I'm on the road using it than I could when testing it at home. When I tested it for time remaining I remember it actually lasted longer than the indicator said originally (can't remember exact time). It showed about an hour remaining on boost at first, and then I think it ran for like an hour and 15 min., but it also defaults automatically to the next lower setting when battery life is running low (good feature).Once you've played with the menu selections you'll realize it's easy to use and easy to remember--a lot less confusing than it sounds in the description. Overall the 1800 Boost is of course a little brighter and has a wider pattern for biking in the woods (it's considerably heavier too), but as far as usefulness, convenience, ease of charging w/USB, menu features, size & weight, I'd say this is the best bike light I ever bought, and the best bike light I own. I have a couple others I thought were VERY bright and those are NOT as bright as this!Unless you've tried or owned some huge portable bike floodlight that cost around $300-400 w/a heavy cumbersome battery pack wired to it, this will be the best light you can buy for the price. It's of very high quality construction and clearly a well manufactured product.~JSV

Great light. I lost mine and could not buy another because they were "out". So I bought a $80NiteRider Lumina OLED 1200 Boost Headlight. The NiteRoder seems well made, but the light is nowhere near as bright as this BurningSun Store 1000 Lumen light. I rode with my NIteRider last night, and my NiteRider max-high beam lasted only 1:20, and the max-high beam is just barely qualified for "high-beam. The build quality is good, but for the barely-high-beam and swift battery consumption I would buy something different. That is why I am on this product right now - hoping that they have one for me to buy so I can return the NiteRider.

I've had a Lumina light for several years that finally died so I bought this as a replacement. It's a great upgrade. It charges much faster than the old version and lasts twice as long. The display is nice so you can see how long in hours the light has left and it changes to depending on the lumens chosen for brightness. The lowest setting works well and provides the longest life. The mount stayed the same so it's easy on and off. I really like this light and highly recommend it.

Great light! This is my 4th NR Lumina, replacing the 1100 Boost I had that failed to recharge (the battery was still good). It got smacked around on my helmet with tree branches and other impacts, so not totally surprised it failed. Plus it was 6+ years old and I use them a lot.I use the Micro 850's on my helmet now so this 1200 Boost went on my bars. I really like the OLED display for indication of battery status, though the time remaining estimates seem to be off by 45+ minutes when it automatically kicks down to the low setting. I always carry a spare so it hasn't been an issue, but still a little annoying until I figured it out.

This is my third NiteRider headlight in the past ten years. My last headlight was a Pro 1500 DIY that I used on my road bike for commuting during darkness. Although the Lumina 1200 OLED is not that bright and does not last as long, it is definitely worth the money. In addition, it is much smaller if you compare its overall size to the Pro 1500 and the six-cell battery that keeps it running. I am very pleased with the performance, level of brightness and sturdy construction of the Lumina 1200 OLED. In addition, the LED screen provides remaining battery percentage and estimated runtime... what a cool feature! Also, the mounting bracket is sturdy and well-made.I use this headlight during daylight hours on one of the strobe modes when I’m riding my road bike on public roadways. I have had a few oncoming vehicles honk at me because the headlight is so incredibly bright. Thank you to NiteRider for keeping me just a little bit safer during my rides.If you are on the fence about purchasing this light, don’t be. Just pull the trigger on this purchase. You will be glad you did.

The light is bright (depending on the mode). However the unit is very bulky once mounted (-1). The small screen in unreadable under the sun, and barely in the shadows (-1). The light fell off the mount while riding (-1). The unit survived but won't charge anymore. I contacted tech support on their website for assistance, and got no answer (-1).

Game changing. So powerful for such a tiny lightweight light
