great for visibility, but unwise at the maximum 300 lumens. It also alters the angle of the light, though, angling it up into the eyes of following drivers. On both my bikes – with a Kamm tail and large (30.9mm) diameter seat post – this wedge was definitely necessary to prevent the light sliding round to the side.
There's also a tapered insert to work with flat backed or large diameter posts, which is either a new addition or something I just lost very quickly with my old light.
The ladder-style rubber strap accommodates a wide range of seat post diameters, and feels more robust than some other lights. That said, it has survived a few months of Britain's grimmest conditions (you can do your own political/viral jokes here) and the hose pipe test. Like the cheaper Strip Alert Drive Stef recently reviewed, no Ingress Protection (IP) rating for water and dust proofing seems to have been published, which for a light this expensive is underwhelming. That's not a bad thing – that rubberised outer and co-moulded design has proven pretty robust. Its eye-searing modes are enough for visibility even in bright sunlight, but I personally found that for every positive the Alert feature adds, there's an accompanying negative.Īt first glance you'd be forgiven for mistaking the new Strip Pro for the cheaper Strip Drive or even for older versions still. The Lezyne Strip Pro Alert Drive sits at the top of the tree in Lezyne's rear light range.
