Handlebar lights are rarely as powerful as they are portable, and if they are, rarely weatherproof as well. The Urban 400 Light from Light & Motion handily delivers that trifecta, while also packing in plenty of style and ease of use to boot.

Few cycling lights come with the pedigree of those from Light & Motion -- a company who has been designing lights for over 20 years. But not always bicycle lights though. In fact, the small Monterey, California company cut its teeth making ocean-proof diving lights that adhered to some of the most stringent safety standards in consumer products. The DNA for safe, highly visible and weatherproof lights for cycling was already in place, and thus we have the Urban 400.

Just as its title implies, the Urban 400 casts a bright 400 lumens beam to help you see and be seen. For the sake of comparison, a typical car headlight tends to put out around 700 or 800 lumens. The level of performance that the Urban 400 delivers allows you to fly over broken pavement at night, seeing the obstacles and having time to avoid them before you run over them. Like the Vis series, Light and Motion's Urban lights have amber side lights to increase your cone of visibility, adding to your safety. Accident data tells us that most car/bike accidents occur at intersections, and not surprisingly, with cars turning into or across cyclist's paths as they thread their way through the intersection. So the more light you can project in all directions, the better.

The Light and Motion Urban 400 Light will run for 2 hours on the high setting and for 4 hours on medium. The lowest setting stretches the lithium-ion battery life out to 8 hours, and once it's dead, a complete charge by means of the included USB-Micro charge cable requires around 5 hours. It's designed to be mounted onto your handlebars and comes with a rubberized, tool-free strap that secures the light in an instant.

I absolutely love this light. It is super bright and projects the beam incredibly far. It is super easy to use, and I love that I can recharge it while sitting at my desk at work. The only near complaint I could have is that you need to remember to charge it regularly. I put it in my saddle bag fully charged but didn't use it for a couple of weeks, then coming home late one night it gave up halfway home. Its more my fault than the light, but I had expected it to hold its charge longer.

Light&Motion makes fantastic stuff, and doesn't do it in China. The lights they make stand up to harsh conditions and put out A LOT of lumens. Don't let the price scare you away. You want this light to keep you safe on the road.
