Product Description

The Light & Motion TAZ 1200 will blow you away with its amazing 1200 lumen output, from only three LED's, and in a self-contained package. The Taz 1200 is ideal for either a super-bright commuter light or as a hefty supplement to a helmet-mounted light for night rides on the trail.

Light & Motion Taz 1200 Pro Review

by Francois  Jan, 8 2013 12:52PM

The Taz is the crowning achievement for the Light and Motion in 2013. They created a light with the beam pattern of a Seca but with the form factor of an Urban self-contained light. They used their knowledge with multiple beam patterns to make a light that has both spread and throw. And to top it off, they gave it side lighting that can be switched on/off separately to make this an ideal commuter light as well. At a measured 1206 Lumens, this is an extremely bright light weighing in at only 217 grams. Continue reading →

Strengths:    bright widely dispersed beam, light weight, no external battery or cord

Weaknesses:    none yet

Bottom Line:   
I've been night riding single track for at least 10 years. I started out using Nite Rider products. They are suspect quality in my opinion and seem to last only a season or two. I have 3 in the garage that dont work. I became aquainted with Light and Motion after a friend recommended I purchase a Stella 300 as a replacement for a disfunct Nite Rider helmet mounted light. The Light and Motion Stella 300 has served me well for 5 years with flawless operation.

The TAZ 1200 is a new product so there arent many if any reviews out there. I decided to purchase one because the technology appeared cutting edge and I trust the company based on prior expierence with the Stella light. Wow, am I happy I made the purchase! The TAZ 1200 is a game changer. No external wires, batteries etc involved with this self contained unit that simply charges in a few hours on my iPad charger and then mounts to bars in seconds. The medium 600 lumen setting is very bright and battery life is good for a 3hr ride at 600 lumens. It casts a widely dispersed beam, essentially eliminating the need for a helmet mounted light. For technical descents, you can easily click over to the 1200 lumen setting and turn night into day. Amazing! For shorter rides the 1200 lumen setting is good for 1 1/2 hour. I highly recommend this light.
