Certainly it will satisfy those weight-aware road riders who want decent light output and run time from their featherweight night time friend. We are running the Mk1 Strada, which boasts an output of 480 lumens. Its current replacement, the visually identical Strada Mk2, puts out 600 lumens for the same run times of three or 10 hours steady plus flashing mode. We’d venture to suggest that 480 of these lumens is normally enough on Tarmac…
A check through the Exposure lighting specification chart suggests that the Strada underperforms slightly compared to the Race Mk5, which weighs a few grammes less and adds a low-power 24hour duration steady running mode to the Strada’s existing three modes while saving £20 on cost price. Turn the Strada on, however, and all is made clear; well focused but with excellent coverage across the width or the road, the Strada actually switches its steady modes between high and low beam and nicely meets the road rider’s needs whether in town or out on unlit rural roads.
Provided complete with a remote switch that can be used to “toggle” between high and low beam and able to take a piggy-back battery, the Strada has a low-charge indicator and comes with a two-year warranty.
