Reviews over the

Lezyne Lite Drive 1000XL

Very good product, the power really seems to correspond to the 1000 lumens advertised, the colour is really nice (I was a bit worried about it when I ordered, but I'm won over!), the many lighting modes are really pleasant and useful in all situations, and as a bonus the lamp is really light and compact.

Now with autumn on unlit roads a godsend on me e-Bike to see properly

Pros & Cons

This lamp can definitely take a beating. Build quality gives confidence in all weather conditions. Stretch is very stiff and perhaps rather short, but it stays put because of this. Big case, though.

Pros & Cons

After mounting on the bike, start cycling through the dark. In the highest setting, you have an enormous light output and can really see everything. All other lights from others paled in comparison. Definitely recommended and the colour is very nice and not standard.

Pros & Cons

Good lamp for town and country, helps you to be seen by cars, and when passing through really dark areas, the max mode lights up really well.

Pros & Cons

So far no bad experiences with the lamp. I can recommend it to others.

Pros & Cons

Good bike light even for roads without street lights. Long battery life and different lighting modes. Very happy with it, meets expectations!

Pros & Cons

After 30 min on highest setting battery already dead. Regret the purchase.

Pros & Cons

Am very satisfied with the performance of the lamp. It does everything I bought it for!

Pros & Cons

Lamp sits properly tight on the handlebar. Since nothing wobbles. Long-term experience is currently still missing. As of now recommendable

Pros & Cons

Lamp with fine specs that I now have in daily use for a little over a month. Upon unpacking and testing inside, I was content. Especially about the various modes and side visibility. What I quickly noticed was that the core of the beam does not illuminate the road as well as my previous light. That one had a max of 600 lumens. But the big drawback; the battery dies quickly. On setting 3, I can count on about 2 hours of illumination. I did not expect this. You have to consider the battery quite a bit.

Pros & Cons

On the first drive in the dark, I was really thrilled. The second brightest setting is easily enough to mark the road.

Pros & Cons

Fine light, makes night cycling in dark unlit areas quite doable

Pros & Cons

The lamp gives a lot of light but is empty within 30 minutes. In other words, they only have a small light left and I already have that on my bike. Major setback.

Pros & Cons

The lamp is highly recommended especially now in the cold season. I drive every day a longer route which is now already early in the dark and not illuminated. With the lamp from Lezyne the way is now more than well illuminated. I can only recommend the lamp. The 1000 lumens are more than sufficient.

Pros & Cons

I use it every day for my 2 home/work commutes. People who pass me tell me that I'm highly visible, and "it flashes" comes up a lot.

Pros & Cons

Gives a bucket of light, giving you good visibility and being seen!

Pros & Cons

Feels very solid. Lots of unnecessary modes so you have to click through them before you find the one you want.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use and very useful

Pros & Cons

works well. the only negatives is that its much bigger than my previous one as its the lights and the mounting unit combined. if taking on and off, then doesnt fit too neatly in a pocket. All the light options, although useful, takes time to switch through.

Good lamp that makes you visible as well as visible. Easy to attach, recharge. Solid, but expensive.

Pros & Cons

Practical to use when you often have to mount and dismount it from its handlebars.

Pros & Cons

A solid device that gives good light. Attaching it to the handlebars with a rubber band is awkward. This could be improved. Also, the battery drains much faster than expected. A 2-hour ride at almost full power (i.e. not max power) is not possible at 10 degrees.

Pros & Cons

A very good headlamp that provides excellent illumination. However, when going out at night, don't plan for more than 1? hours on unlit roads, as the 1000-lumen battery isn't exceptionally long.

Pros & Cons

The lamp keeps everything it promises: small very bright long runtime top product

Pros & Cons

The lamp keeps everything it promises: small very bright long runtime top product

Pros & Cons

With this light, you are finally an equal road user!

Pros & Cons

Beautiful and solidly made lamp. But am not crazy about the somewhat floppy mounting on the handlebars. I have an aero handlebar bend, that shape causes the lamp to slowly rotate upwards while riding. The extra rubber has to come out underneath for it and I have to point it back down with regularity while riding. But the light output almost cancels out this minor annoyance.

Pros & Cons

Nice and light err... light. Mounted on a garmin mount and holds well. Not heavy, so it doesn't shake and doesn't move. The beam is wide, you can see part in your hands, but also goes to where it should go.

Pros & Cons

I have used it during the day and at night, all the way can be seen, waterproof, long battery life, plenty of modes. It can be irritating to others though especially in the city.

Pros & Cons

I was able to receive the lamp quite quickly, after charging it to use immediately.

Pros & Cons

Great lamp that illuminates the road well, battery lasts a long time, so no need to worry about that either. The only disadvantage I find is the many modes, flashing light is not even allowed by law in the Netherlands e.g. in the Netherlands. If you leave in the light, and then choose a low light setting at dusk, you have to go through all the settings again as it gets darker to get to a higher setting, which I find awkward, but the rest makes up for it. As long as you have round handlebars, the mounting is good, but with aero handlebars it does get tricky to mount the light on your handlebars.

Pros & Cons

Am extremely content with the lamp. While mountain biking, it is very important to have good visibility and you have that with this lamp. Really recommend it!

Pros & Cons

My first one ran out quickly and did not work at all after a few months. Problem-free exchange for a new one.

Pros & Cons

I can only recommend this lamp to others.

Pros & Cons

Fully tested for 2 weeks....There is absolutely nothing to comment on the amount of light, nice distribution of light and definitely sufficient for cycling in absolute darkness.Also a long burn time. However, the lamp is not balanced, the attachment point is not in the middle, the lamp is heavier at the back so that after cycling for a while, the lamp starts tilting backwards, shining into oncoming traffic their eyes. The mounting rubber is far too short, only the last hole is of use (and I don't have thick handlebars!)so you only have a small piece of rubber to grab and place the lamp, you even have to turn the lamp sideways to attach them(mounting hook is just under the lamp (see photo). A missed opportunity that they didn't make it a click-on system like my other BBB lamp,where the attachment stays behind and you easily click your lamp on and off. With this lamp, you have to insert the rubber band every time.

Pros & Cons

Super light

Pros & Cons

Das Produkt übertrifft meine Erwartungen. Es leuchtet so hell, einfach unglaublich und ist super zum bedienen. Ich bin glücklich!

I bought it to be better seen by motorists during the day. I use the flash during the day and it's really visible. Will it withstand being taken apart several times to charge the camera?

Pros & Cons

Super purchase. Lamp performs under all (weather) conditions.

Pros & Cons

Very good lighting. I commute to work every day and have to charge it every day. Doesn't last more than 2 hours at full power.

Pros & Cons

Fine lamp, with ample light output. I already had a holder from Lezyne, in which this also fits. This makes it easier to take it off my bike to recharge, for instance.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Greats lights. Really good on forest trails in the dark. My favourite feature is the flash blast which is great at dusk and on dark days. Pedestrian’s and motorists can’t miss me with them.

Pros & Cons

Fine, powerful lighting. There are different settings on it. On the very dark cycle paths without lights, I put the light on the highest setting (1000 lumens) and in the more populated parts with just street lights, I put the light one setting lower to save battery.

Pros & Cons

Nice light for price you pay for it. Used it for approx 1000k so far for the 2/3 weeks I’ve had it in both light and dark conditions. Decently bright, but not extremely so. Only downfall is rather short battery life. Started getting dark and light started to die in the fourth hour, so maybe not best to put into brightest flashing mode during day time as it runs down battery. Plus side is it tells you when it’s running very low and adjusts brightness to get home. Excellent service once again by Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Purchased combined with a rear light and a Gopro adapters so it can be mounted on my K-edge. As a result, the lamp hangs exactly in the middle of my bike under my navigation system (i.e. upside down). I have now used it a few times in the dark and have a good view of the road surface. Just be careful not to put the light too high because of the inconvenience to other road users. This is because the light output is very high. Because of this mounting, placing the charging plug is a bit more difficult if you don't want to dismantle the lamp. I take this for granted as the lamp is not prominently visible on my handlebars.

Pros & Cons

Perfect fixation to flat Canyon handlebar Good beam, duration ok to the end

Found myself unexpectedly on dark cycle paths with the dark days: glad I could use this bike light! One small drawback: you have to press a lot to get to your desired position. For me, all that flickering is unnecessary. Apparently, the electromagnetic field of the lamp is so strong that it interferes with the reception of my odometer: I have to turn my odometer a bit to have reception again

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Easy to install and fits any handlebars on my bikes. Depending on the mode, this device emits great power. Fast to charge, I use a 3.5A usb speedloader.

Pros & Cons

The lamp in itself is excellent. But the mounting strap is too short for all the handlebars. Which makes it worthless as a whole for me

Pros & Cons

Sehr zufrieden mit der Leistung. Abstriche aber beim Design und der Befestigung.

Pros & Cons

Powerful lamp, light weight. Excellent in forest or city. Slightly short battery life

Pros & Cons

Super price-performance ratio. The lamp is very light and you can easily convert the holder to GoPro standard and mount it on the helmet, for example. Changing modes is bad, because the "flashing mode" is also included in the rotation. Luckily, there is a "Race Mode" where you can only switch between "Economy" and "Blast".

Pros & Cons

The title says it all. Perfect lamp with particularly bright light. Do you ride in the dark for more than an hour and turn the lamp bright? Then take an extra light with you to be on the safe side. Battery can drain quickly.

Pros & Cons

This lamp gives a lot of light! I cycle with it in the dark on the road bike and it gives enough light for that. Disadvantage: the elastic to attach the lamp is short. In the loosest position it just fits around my handlebars. So with slightly thicker handlebars you have a problem.

Pros & Cons

They see you coming a long way, I recommend it to everyone to buy these

Very user-friendly. For a reasonable price power lighting, robust design and long battery life. Especially convenient that it can also be charged via USB.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

FIRST IMPRESSION IS FINE; LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHAT EVERYDAY LIFE HAS TO SAY.

Pros & Cons

Good bright beam. 1 drawback, the button on top comes off pretty quickly and you have to press hard to get the light on.

Pros & Cons

Works as promised. The only criticism is that the rubber band to attach the handlebars is a little short considering that 35mm handlebars are being used more and more often.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Battery dies very quickly!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

These lights make sure you can keep cycling even in winter

Pros & Cons

Ideal for evening rides in the dark! Lots of different modes that give enough light. Also ideal for tackling single track in pitch darkness! Very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

efficient fixing system. Powerful lighting, even at night in the woods. average range (at least in cold weather) but perfect for outings. practical recharging via micro usb.

Pros & Cons

With this front light, you can literally see the forest for the trees! Mounted on my mtb, it gives a huge amount of light on night rides. Because of the different settings, you can also just ride it on the street to be seen.

Pros & Cons

The lamp has a great beam and is convenient to use/ easy to charge. Great purchase!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Good light and good battery life.

Battery life a little limited. +/- 1 hour at maximum power.

Couldn’t be happier with it. Feel much more safe riding it with my road bike on unlit roads.

Pros & Cons

Finally safe through the night. Very bright, good illumination. Even bats like it. Insects are probably attracted to the light cone by the strong light and so bats are often companions. The light is easy to operate. A look at the instructions provides information about the possibilities of operation. The Race mode is a simple and quick way to switch between bright and super bright. The other modes are more like toys for me and not necessary. Shipping is fast and trouble-free. Safely packed and also delivered to Germany. The light is not StVZO approved. I can understand that. It really is extremely bright and the flashing modes are not permitted in Germany. No one needs them.

Pros & Cons

Top light with many modes

Highly recommended for touring with the Dayflash is very bright. Qualitatively, the lamps from Lezyne are highly recommended.
