The Exposure Strada 1200 is designed specifically for the road. These are great quality lights and are very rugged and well made. The fittings and quick release attachment are equally as good. Comes with a remote switch also. Pricey brand but well worth it in my opinion. Currently on sale at wiggle, usually go for around $325. 1st Deal posted so please forgive any errors.

      Thanks, fixed the link up.

      I don't really understand why you down voted this?
      I've bought cheap lights off ebay and once you have experienced the reliability and quality of these lights it's hard to go back. I realise at this price point they aren't for everyone but they are definitely on sale and I've ordered one for that reason after baulking a month ago.

      • hoverboardrider on 17/04/2017 - 07:08

        Maybe the price is justified by the remote switch? Very useful feature for those who have difficulty operating an on/off switch in the conventional way (by using their finger), or who can't reach the on/off switch because the light is positioned or lodged somewhere they can't reach easily?
        Still perplexed.
        Also wondering what you are doing here, maybe trying a different selling method to eBay?

          The Remote switch allows you to keep your hand on your bar when changing modes, if need be.
          You think a company the size of wiggle need my help? I wish.

          Also go have a look on ebay for this particular light and see what people are asking.

        Some people are just cranky. I totally agree with having a good quality light over a cheapy, especially when you rely on it not to fail at night when you might be an hour or more from home and it's raining.

        Regarding the light itself, I'd like to see what other modes it has since 1200lm is a bit rude for people going in the opposite direction

        • Theophilus Whistler on 17/04/2017 - 07:23

          For the bit about those riding in other direction. Does my nut in. Why you need to have your light on full blast on a reasonably well lit path is beyond me. Yes, I'm a cranky bugger!

        • Ozbargainite on 17/04/2017 - 07:47

          All exposure lights have heaps of modes and the beam pattern on these lights is less inclined to blind on coming traffic. A remote is handy to dip when necessary.

          @BingoBabe:
          I'm a shift worker, that's why I need a decent bike light and why I can afford one. That's also why I am awake early this morning on a public holiday.
          Sadly giant private equity companies that own large online retailers haven't employed me to spruik bike lights for them. WTF?

      You know, I got a light that cost 3X more than this. People are free to spend their money on what they want. Why do you care. I was on Ozbargain too, like Ozbargainite.

      But my question is what were you doing at that time of the night on Ozbargain…

      How does your $10 light go at 50 km/hr on dark roads with no streetlights late at night?

        I wouldn't know. 1) I don't go at 50kph on my cheap $250 bike and 2) I've never ridden on dark roads with no streetlights :D.

      • 2ndeffort on 18/04/2017 - 11:54

        Then show us a link to a COMPARABLE light that is cheaper and a better deal. One with the same light output, same battery duration and same lightweight.

          @figarow: your personal attack is hilarious…seriously but where is the comparable deal proving your original idea of a 'cheap torch and fit a clamp' is a better alternative? Quick to throw mud but when you are called out for a ridiculous post you resort to a personal attack?

    too expensive for what it offers

    bunnings have alternatives for under $50

    this one even comes with screws and batteries

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/coleman-700-lumen-tactical-torch…
    you can always tape this to the handle bars, just need to add the cost of the tape

      The bike light you've linked to has 150 ish lumens compared to the 1200 lumens the exposure light puts out. That's like comparing a Lada to a ferrari, it is not a fair comparison. Aalso there is no mention on how long the bunnings light lasts for on full beam, I am guessing not long, maybe an hour or so tops! If you are riding on rural roads or unlit roads 150 lumens is nowhere near enough, trust me I have done it. What price on your life?

      As for the torch? How big is it and how long does it last on full beam. How much does it weigh? Chances are it won't last very long, weighs a lot and is not easy to secure to your bike. If it slips or falls off when you are rocking along at 50 km/hr it would be very dangerous. Also it is useless if it is heavy and you are riding up hills or it runs out of battery after half an hour.

    I have no idea about bike lights but what makes it road specific? Are there different lights for different uses?

    • Mentok on 17/04/2017 - 10:57
      +4

      Lenses for road bikes are typically selected to give long throw so as to be more useful while riding in a relatively straight line at high speed. Mountain bike lights need much less range as you're not typically riding in straight lines or at the same speeds so the lenses offer better spread in closer proximity to the rider.

      • PVA on 17/04/2017 - 10:57

        Thanks.

    • eug on 17/04/2017 - 11:04

      Normal lights throw out a round beam, with a lot of the light wasted as it lights up the sky and people's eyes. Bike-specific lights lop off the top of the round beam so it doesn't annoy other people.

      This is a pricey light though. I would consider a reputable brand like Fenix first. It has a remote switch too.

      I've used (and given up on) cheap chinese lights. I'm currently using a Nitecore HC30 and it works really well. No problems with reliability at all.

      • PVA on 17/04/2017 - 11:22

        Thanks. I didn't mean bike specific, I meant road specific but I guess it's all just the lens like meantioned above. Cheers

    • octagonalman on 17/04/2017 - 11:15

      I'm still enjoying cheap Chinese lights like this. It's a decent effort at getting a less annoying beam out in front of your bike.

      This thread goes into beam shapes and reflectors for getting that long-throw without dazzling oncoming people.

    You can buy cheaper lights for sure but exposure lights are quality. These things are the ferrari of bike lights. As somebody else that rides occasionally early in the mornings on roads with no streetlights, a cheapie torch/light is next to useless. I have literally nearly killed myself coming off a bike after hitting something I never saw on the road early in the AM. If you are going to be riding in the dark you need a quality light putting out 600 lumens +. There are cheaper lights than this but you need light output and duration, nothing worse than getting half way somewhere in the pitch black then your light runs out of power. Also, I had a Lezyne Deca Drive with 800 lumens, solid light but the bracket to hold it onto the bars was useless. 1st time out the flimsy bracket breaks and I end up carrying the light around in a jersey pocket riding in the dark! Sure this light is expensive but I challenge anybody to ride around the Dandenongs at 5am with a Bunnings torch or a 'Bangood special'!

    These lights are also aimed at for serious cyclists, the type that spend thousands on carbon bikes and clock up thousands of kms a year. Somebody that considers a decent set of bike wheels a bargain at $2000.00. These are not marketed to people that ride a kmart bike on a bike path with their kids.

    Also, why is there an expectation that the only people on OzB are people looking to save .50c on a pack of 2 min noodles. Nothing wrong with getting a great discount on some serious quality bits. A light like this could last you 20 years!

    • bargainparker on 17/04/2017 - 14:41

      Don't forget bargains on cars too :)

    • Architectonic on 18/04/2017 - 11:44

      "serious cyclists", " cheapie torch/light is next to useless"…

      I rely on my ebike for commuting - I've just ticked over 29,000 km on the original battery.

      The $25 7xCREE-XML-T6 bike lamp I bought years ago on ebay has worked perfectly for years, including riding in the rain. It is well, extremely bright, brighter than the headlights on my car. The brightness of the Strada 1200 would be a downgrade.

      Admittedly I've been running it from a $10 DC-DC connected to the ebike battery pack, which means I don't worry about the unreliability of cheap battery cells. (or the power draw which is about 25w)

  • gccmelb on 17/04/2017 - 15:42

    Will these help me blind fellow road/path users?

    • octagonalman on 17/04/2017 - 16:43
      +1

      Possibly not:

      Plus, one of the Strada's main points of difference from the majority of high-power lights out there is that the beam is shaped so it doesn't dazzle oncoming traffic.

      http://road.cc/content/review/179341-exposure-strada-mk6

      You can, of course, choose to aim it up at fellow road/path users' eyes.

    Holy Sshite, WTF???? Bike Light $278.32. I would suggest that the OP may benefit from a lobotomy. Little ones, just google "lobotomy" and you will understand. For additional perspective, please refer to the classic movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (find it on imdb.com or, you know, torrent). If you would like a professional perspective on a lobotomy procedure of your very own please feel free to attend my Spring Hill surgery tomorrow for a free consultation. No charge if you mention "damn simple push bike light sucks because I want one and it is ridiculously expensive for a simple push bike light". All my friends, you know where we are. If you require a personalised lobotomy I will meet all charges for the procedure (after lobotomies are legalised in this country, of course). Adios, sweeties.

    • Chickenleg on 17/04/2017 - 22:36

      Will you meet all medical charges for somebody hitting a pothole on their bike and coming off onto the road at 50 km/hr because the cheap light they were using either didnt put out enough light or had run out of battery an hour into the ride? If you have such a massive problem with this then please post us up a similar light for much cheaper, something else that weighs about the same, puts out about the same amount of light and lasts for about as long a duration. if you can show us all that this cost is ridiculous then we will all buy the cheap lights and all be winners. It is easy to make fun of something, much harder to show a better solution.

  • hoverboardrider on 17/04/2017 - 22:49

    Not worked up, actually really, really amused. Just want to share that, you know? $278.32 for a bike light? Are you kidding? You don't find that funny and want to want to tell the world?

      Good tech costs money. If you ride on country roads a lot, or do twisty descents in the dark, you'd want the best lights that you can have and that may mean paying $200+. Going by your logic, why would someone be stupid enough to pay nearly $2k on a computer when you could go to officeworks and get one for $300?
