At full power it provides ample light for fast descents and tricky singletrack, while lower modes stretch run times to a huge 148 hours, making it equally suitable for longer rides or bikepacking adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CNC-machined aluminium body is tough, lightweight, and built to handle the demands of off-road riding. Cooling fins help regulate heat at higher outputs, while an IPX7 waterproof rating means the Super Drive is ready to perform in wet weather. Charging is quick and convenient via USB-C, and the included versatile bar mount ensures a secure fit on most handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this makes the Super Drive 1800+ one of the best-value options for riders looking to extend their trail time into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maximum output: <strong>1800 lumens<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run time: <strong>up to 148 hours<\/strong> across multiple modes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wide, even beam designed for off-road trails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CNC-machined aluminium body with cooling fins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>USB-C rechargeable<\/strong> for fast, reliable charging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IPX7 water-resistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure, versatile handlebar mount included<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.balfesbikes.co.uk\/accessories\/lights\/lezyne-super-drive-1800-smart-led-front-light-in-black__53495\" style=\"background-color:#e2a854\">ORDER LEZYNE SUPER DRIVE 1800+ Mountain Bike Light<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exposure Six Pack Mk15 Mountain Bike Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Best for: Trail riding.

For enduro or downhill trails, 2,000 &#8211; 3,000 or more with a wide beam gives the best visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How many lumens do I need for a bike light?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>For city commuting on lit roads, 100\u2013300 lumens is enough. For unlit country roads, 800\u20131000 lumens is recommended. Mountain biking at night requires at least 1500 lumens to properly light trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are helmet bike lights legal in the UK?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Yes, but you must also have a fixed white front light and a red rear light on the bike itself between sunset and sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it illegal to ride a bike without lights?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Yes. In the UK it\u2019s a legal requirement to have a white front light and red rear light fitted to your bike between sunset and sunrise. Riding without them can result in a fine and, more importantly, puts your safety at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need daytime running lights?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Yes. A rear bike light with a daytime flash setting improves visibility even in bright conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shop Bike Lights at Balfe\u2019s Bikes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We stock a wide range of front lights, rear lights, helmet lights, light sets and MTB lights from trusted brands like Lezyne, Exposure, Cateye and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop online today with free UK delivery, 0% finance and free Click &amp; Collect from your nearest Balfe\u2019s store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like further advice please feel free to pop into one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balfesbikes.co.uk\/our-stores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 stores<\/a> where the team will be happy to help.
