NiteRider Lumina 450 Micro/Sabre 50 Combo

Precious few weeks exist during the year when a bike light isn't necessary. During the endless days of midsummer, you can head out sans light after work and be back in time for a sunset beer without a problem, but those weeks are fleeting. Since most of us log our miles before or after work, with a few weekend rides thrown in for good measure, chances are good that you're riding near the sunrise or sunset, with all of the dim light and poor depth perception that accompanies morning and evening. Investing in a light setup like the NiteRider Lumina 450 MicroSabre 50 Combo will take care of on bike visibility in one fell swoop, without slowing down your ride routine. The Lumina 450, as its name makes clear, comes prepared to emit a beam of up to 450 lumens onto the road in front of you, helping you stand out to oncoming motorists while illuminating subtle depressions and potential obstacles on the tarmac ahead. In addition to offering five different light modes, the Lumina comes with a lock mode for storage to help you avoid accidentally draining your battery overnight. The Sabre 50, on the other hand, rests flush with your seatpost, its red bulb alerting motorists in your lane to your presence at night, as well as during the day with its Daytime Flash Mode. Another thing we appreciate: USB recharging for simple, on the go battery boosts. Niterider even built the lights with its Intellicharge technology, which cuts charging time in half if the cord is connected to a power source over 500mA, meaning you don't have to miss the last light of day waiting for your light to recharge.
