The Lezyne Deca 1500 XXL claims to be the finest high-performance LED cycling light out there, designed for all forms of serious night riding. First things first, I need to explain that this isn’t a light to help you be see when you are cycling from work in the winter - this is a light that allows you to see the road and surrounding area whilst night riding. Anyone who lives in the countryside can appreciate how dangerous it can be riding in the dark; one pot hole or rock on the road can send you flying into the undergrowth when travelling at speed.

The Deca is a compact cycling light, not to be compared to those tiny flashing lights that let you be seen in the dark. Instead, think of it like a high-powered torch strapped to your bicycle. It comes available in grey or black, and produces a nice wide-angled light around your bike. It is made from durable and heat-dissipating CNC machined aluminium, and uses ultra-high output LEDs that deliver up to 1,500 lumens. With six different levels of brightness to choose from, you can make sure you get the most out of your battery life. The optional Overdrive Race Mode toggles between Overdrive and Economy modes only, and the Deca has a memory function that returns to selected mode after turning off.

The battery takes six hours to fully charge and will last you between 1hour 45mins to 35 hours depending on the setting. The down side to this light is the weight: at 247g with the standard rubber strap, the weight could be a deal-breaker for cyclists who account for every single gram.  There are other lights in the Lezyne range which way a lot less but you would be opting for this model if you were basing your judgement on output vs runtime.

Overall, the Deca 1500 XXL is a high performing light. I would like to see a longer battery life when it is used on the higher settings, the mount doesn’t give you a lot of adjustment to play with and it is on the heavy side, but it is still a powerful light ideal for keeping you safe on those night rides.
