NiteRider Lumina 650 Pro Review
Last year’s Minewt 600 is replaced by the Lumina 650 this year. And if you like the 600, you’re sure to love the 650 as most aspects were improved. It is smaller now and looks better with a good blend of black and silver design and heat sinking. Light output has been improved not just by 50 claimed Lumens. Last year’s light measured only 485 on an integrating sphere while this year’s measured 647 lumens. Our Mtbr Lux meter measured 67 Lux compared to 50 last year. Continue reading →

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: February 23, 2013 Strengths: Small, light and bright... light output is very impressive for such a small self contained unit. No wires or separate power pack required! Good run-time. Weaknesses: Not feasible to change to a spare battery when out on a ride... having said that I don’t know many riders that carry a spare anyway.

mwarner57 Date Reviewed: November 14, 2012 Strengths: No cord! This is the first cordless light I've used that is bright enough for night MTB rides. I am using it as a helmet light, and it is just soooo much easier when you don't have to route a cord to a battery in your jersey or hydration pack. The USB charging is awesome also. I can charge the light from my computer at work before riding at night. Light output is outstanding. The included helmet mount is working like a champ so far. Weaknesses: Light can be difficult to turn off sometimes. Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: September 17, 2012 Strengths: Inexpensive and very bright! A few years ago you had spend near 3 times the money for 400 lumen HID light (I still have some if you want them). Bar mount is nicely executed with click swivel adjustment. Seems solid and well constructed. All-in-one construction is nice with no wires or separate battery to mount. 3 power modes as well as daytime flasher and walk mode. Weaknesses: No real battery gauge. The on/off button glows blue and with 15-20% left it changes to red. With 3-4% it goes into lowest riding power mode. A real battery gauge would be a real plus so you can best plan your ride and light usage. Light and motion worked a batter gauge into there 150 lumen Solite 150 I think Niterider should do the same. A little hard to put on my very large diameter bar next to the stem. It works, but the adjuster must be backed-out all the way to get it to fit. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I like most anything XC oriented. I do not enjoy getting hurt much anymore. Duration Product Used: 1 month Similar Products Used: Niterider and Light in Motion HID lights. Light in Motion Solite (for trail running and walking my dog at night in the woods). Niterider 1800 Pro (more light then anyone needs on high but as the Jerry said "too much of everything is just enough" and in this case it is certainly true) (with this light is it still night riding?). Old Niterider and Nightsun (remember them?) and home brewed halogen with big a** lead acid camcorder batteries back in the day of little money but lots of desire and time. Bike Setup: Cannondale Scalpel 29er. Ibis Silk-ti (for sale as I am not riding it very much or really at all now). Beautiful bike but as an old long time mt. biker I like the ease and speed of the 29r.
