The Power Drive is a self-contained reddened that claims 300 lumens. It uses a Cree XPG emitter that is housed in an every metal housing for modify dissipation. The shelling is a accepted lithium cell that crapper be replaced on the trail. The side of the reddened unscrews easily such same a tralatitious torch and the shelling crapper be replaced with a fresh digit for longer removed time.
The Power Drive is the region of the distinction of a family of threesome lights from Lezyne. It retails for $90 and puts discover a claimed 300 lumens. The another lights in the family are: Super Drive – $110 at 450 lumens claimed output Mini Drive – $70 at 150 lumens claimed output.
The Power Drive is in the distinction for the buyer who rattling wants to insist on a reddened that is under a $100. It is a good reddened but it it is overshadowed by the Super Drive that is 50% brighter but is only 22% more expensive. Â But since they ingest the same battery, the Power Drive gets more removed instance at 2 hours instead of 1.5.
Although this is Lezyne’s first effort in lights, they hit invested momentous instance and money to investigate the rivalry and their possess lights. They’ve purchased their possess desegregation orbit to manoeuvre actualised lumens output. With advanced tools, they’re able to control and publish how their lights bear over the whole shelling cycle. They’re also able to dissect losses in lense and reflector designs.
These lights are live via USB and there is no USB charger included. It is acknowledged that you hit a charger or machine somewhere in the household. If you need one, a removed charger is available for $20.
Something interesting most the Super Drive and another Lezyne lights is there is no tiny indicator lamp for charging position or reddened alter illumination. It uses the actualised diode as an indicator by experience it rattling faintly to inform that the reddened is charging. This shows Lezyne’s focus on ownership the reddened as simple as doable and hitting the $90 retail toll point.
Packaging is minimalist as well with a small, useable impressible housing such same the digit utilised in low-cost cut lights. There  is no carrying case, big manuals, extras. You intend the necessities, move on and save money. The manual are pretty basic as you crapper wager here http://lezyne.com/wdownloads/manuals/1_HT_LED_USER_GUIDE_V1_R1.pdf.
The reddened nous itself has a lip on the top edge and that’s actually multipurpose to keep the gleaming reddened absent from the rider’s eyes during discover of the command efforts. We love light’s with wide happen patterns but a downside is when you rise discover of the saddle, you intend way up front and the reddened crapper happen on your eyes a bit. The lip institute on this reddened blocks whatever of that reddened move at the top.
Quirky Light Switch:
The reddened alter is a taste quirky and non-intuitive.  We every undergo how to invoke a torch on and off. Some companies hit deviced in endorsement for unplanned turn-ons for self-contained lights (in the bike bag) by implementing a double-click on or 2-second fix advise to invoke on.  Lezyne  has absent boost by swing more reddened system feedback on it.  When you advise the button, it module invoke low instantly. After digit ordinal of fix press, it module invoke to job indicating it’s ready to be released. When you promulgation the button, it turns to high.  When motion off, a kindred system is applied.  It doesn’t attain sense to the newbie until someone explains it to them.  After that, it’s cushy enough to do but it does our brains impact what’s feat on every instance we overturned the reddened on and off. We conceive that’s overkill and non-intuitive. And they should hit spent more instance in the manual explaining the reddene d alter activeness and the system behind it.  But, it’s a pretty minor upset as the alter state and quality is excellent. At the modify of the day, digit has to stop the reddened alter for digit seconds to invoke on and off.
