3 reasons not to buy
- Some experts have expressed reservations about the narrow beam pattern causing tunnel vision in the dark, particularly while road riding.
- The Lumina 1200 clocks in at a stout 6.59 oz including the mount, making it a better choice for the handlebar than the helmet. Plus, the helmet mount is sold separately.
- A small but significant portion of users have reported that faulty electronics have caused the Lumina 1200 to stop working within the first few months of use.
Bottom line
Experts and users agree that the NiteRider Lumina 1200 Boost is an overall good bike light at a competitive price. For a compact instrument, the Lumina has a wide set of functions including several different brightness settings and two flash modes. The Lumina is packaged in a durable exterior and is water resistant. This light performs well for both commuting and sport. However, with its bright and narrow beam, the Lumina truly shines as illumination for trails rather than roads. Out of our analysis of over 1000 customer reviews, the small but significant proportion of users reporting unexplained electronic failure was concerning.Expert Reviews
