A 350 Lumen headlight, with a CNC machined aluminum housing, LED lamp, 7 operational modes, and simple clamp mechanism- all for $35? Yes, thanks to Lezyne. From their Sport series, comes the Hecto Drive 350 Front Light. With an integrated, cable-free USB Stick, recharging in just 2 hours is a snap. This is a great head light for every day riders who push their training into the dark, even on gravel or less technical trails. The beam power of the single LED is focused by the MOR reflector design, a Lezyne technology that enhances the power of the bulb. All this, and much more at just 91.4 grams with the strap mount system attached. Again, $35. Thanks, Lezyne!

The Hecto Drive 350 gets several exceptional technologies generally seen on higher priced light. First is a 3 color LED battery level indicator via the power/mode button. Red, Blue and Green light colors give the user a general sense of battery level. The second is Memory Mode. The light remains in the last mode used when it was turned off, which Lezyne determined is the mode they will most likely use the next time it is called upon. The lightweight, reliable Lithium Polymer battery is internal and compact, housed in the CNC aluminum/molded composite matrix body, which is weatherproof and protects the bulb and internals from impact. 180° visibility comes from side lens ports, to increase safety while on the road. The usual simple and effective silicone strap mounting system is quick to install and remove, yet holds your Hecto Drive securely to the handlebar.

The seven lighting modes include 3 solid (constant), 3 flashing/pulse, and Femto, a daylight running mode that is bright, but saves battery power at 15 Lumens max. Run time for the full 350 Lumen Blast setting is 1 hour, which, when balanced with the 150 Lumen Enduro mode, will give you closer to 2 hours of penetrating light. The compact Hecto Drive isn't a multi-hour trail master, but a very effective light with fast USB recharge and loads of use options. And it is a tremendous value in a competitive lighting market.
