With a lot of road bikes coming with aero seatposts these days, it's good to see Lezyne has incorporated a mount with flexible rubber that moulds around any seatpost to deal with all options. Riding without mudguards sees a lot of spray chucked up over the light, but prolonged rides in heavy downpours saw no issues with water getting in or around the USB point. That rubber cover fits snug as well, which keeps the rain out.
LEZYNE STRIP DRIVE PRO FULL
Remove the rubber cover at the bottom and you'll find a USB that'll plug directly into your PC or USB-equipped socket/plug and the light will go from flat to full in just two hours. When it comes to charging, the Strip Drive is definitely a light designed for commuter use. They are too bright to use in the dark as they'd be too distracting to following drivers, especially out in the sticks, but you should be seen from a fair distance even on a sunny day. Day Flash 1 delivers 150 lumens (6hrs 30mins) and Day Flash 2 offers 100 lumens for 7 hours, both with attention-grabbing flashes and a super-bright pulse every third or fourth flash.

The two day flash modes, though, are very noticeable. Other than those two, and the 5-lumen Flash 5, which will get you home in an emergency with its 29-hour burn time, I didn't really find that I used the others much at all, with their outputs putting them at bright enough without really standing out. The next brightest is Flash 4 at 20 lumens (10hrs), which puts out quite a distinctive light pattern. > Buyer's Guide: 17 of the best rear lights for cycling
LEZYNE STRIP DRIVE PRO PLUS
That 25-lumen setting puts out plenty of light for you to be seen by, plus there is a decent pool of illumination on the road behind you.
LEZYNE STRIP DRIVE PRO DRIVERS
Rather than having various LEDs flashing in sequence to get you noticed, Flash 1 uses all five together in a more traditional on/off flash which is less distracting for drivers when on dark roads. For night usage I like something like the Exposure Blaze with its 80-lumen max output.įlash 1 on the Lezyne is the brightest, offering 25 lumens and a run-time of 8hrs which it achieved easily as I got between 8:05 and 8:15 consistently. The six flash modes use the LEDs in various flashing patterns so they do grab more attention than their lumen output would have you think, which is just as well. Blast gives you plenty of visibility in the dark out in the back lanes and in an urban environment too, when battling against the sea of light from other vehicles and streetlamps.Įnduro does a decent job if you want a solid-state light with decent battery life, but Economy could be culled as, at 3 lumens, it is just a glow. There are three constant modes: Blast (45lm/2hr15), Enduro (15lm/7hr), and Economy (3lm/30hr). The modes are split into three 'sections', constant, flash and day flash. Press and hold the power button to turn it on and single presses will scroll through the 11 – yes, 11 – modes, which use the five LEDs to create some pretty patterns. Straight out of the box the Strip Drive is easy to use. Cons: 11 modes mount doesn't give a tight fit on larger round posts.

It's certainly eye-catching, though sometimes it's better to have a little less choice. Redesigned for 2019/20, the Lezyne Strip Drive 150 Rear covers every eventuality with a huge array of modes and outputs that are bright enough for use on a sunny day as well as the dark depths of winter.
