Description

Looking for a great deal on an awesome front and rear light combo? NiteRider packages two their best lighting values and best sellers in one item to make shopping for lights easier. You also save a few bucks in the process, so this Lumina Micro 850 / Sabre 80 Combo is a great package deal for daily commuters who face true dark conditions, for under $90.
The original Lumina series lights from NiteRider drew raves for compact size and solid features. The Lumina Micro 850 tops its predecessor by delivering a max output of 750 Lumens from the Cree 6000k LED lamp in a smaller housing, while maintaining USB charging of the internal Li-Ion battery, multiple user modes, all coming in at a lighter 130 grams. The light housing unclips quickly from the new strap style handlebar mount- which is quicker and more flexible than the knob style used previously. At under $65, 850 Lumens is now almost laughably affordable.
For serious commuters who need a simple, effective light for both seeing, and being seen, the Lumina Micro 850 is perfect. With five user modes- High, Medium, Low, Walk, and Daytime Flash, the rider can tailor usage to maximize battery life. On the High setting, the Lumina Micro projects the full 850 Lumens for 1.5 hours. The Medium puts out 450 Lumens for 4 hours and Low delivers 200 Lumens for 9 hours. The Walking mode offers a highly efficient 35 hours at 60 Lumens, which would also be a great setting for fixing a flat or walking up the driveway. NiteRider lists the DVF Flash mode at 10 hours.
The USB charging time is only 1:45 hours at 1A charging amps, or 3.5 hours at .5A charging amps, and hopefully you'll never have to explore the full range of the battery. Just keep in mind that if you have a legitimate 90+ minute commute home in the dark, you will be pushing the range of the High mode. Your light choices are dictated by your needs. This unit will be perfect for those with an hour or less commute each way that require serious light. Even 200 Lumens is more than adequate for some rider averaging 15-18 mph with plenty of ambient light. If this is you, the Lumina Micro 850 is a great choice. NiteRider builds reliable, trustworthy products. At such a light weight, we'd even consider it as an emergency backup for real night riding on the roads or trails.
