Bottom line

Night Provision's PS1200v2 light set combines a generous 1200-lumen headlight with a taillight capable of putting out 220 lumens. What makes this set stand out is the ability to output strobe lighting in red and blue, at both ends of your bike. While this may be legally questionable for everyday citizens of certain states, in others it’s perfectly lawful. The PS1200v2 is commended by reviewers claiming to be working police. Even if you aren’t an officer of the law (or playing at being one), most buyers say this is a powerful light set offered at a competitive price.
