The Lowdown: NiteRider Lumina OLED 800
The NiteRider Lumina is the workhorse of the NiteRider line. This year, the output bumps up to 800 Lumens and the Lumina now features an optical LED display. The display is very handy in determining what brightness level the light is on and how much run time there is left on the battery. Thus, one can accurately determine which light level to use to last the whole ride.
The beam pattern is big and beautiful as usual. There is a large halo of light and a bright center spot to provide good throw. This light can be used on the bar or helmet, but it is most at home on the helmet with its light weight and lack of wires.
