The Light & Motion Stella 300 Dual bike light gets you on the trail for about $300. It's featherlight at 10.6 oz. and delivers 300 lumens of spot/flood combination for 3 solid hours!

  • Features a 150 lumen spot and 150 lumen flood, it's perfect for the street or the trail
  • Robust waterproof connectors and light heads won’t fail you miles from home; all control is on the light head
  • Cruise mode cycles through high, medium, low and flash, sequentially
  • Race mode skips the medium and flash modes, allowing you to conserve battery power on the climbs and keep the high setting just a click away for the descents
  • The lights and reflectors are designed as a system, delivering a beam that's sculpted to enhance the trail or road in front of you
  • The Stella Dual uses one light head to provide a clean flood and the other to provide a powerful spot; each can be aimed to tailor the light pattern to your needs
  • Tool-less mount makes mounting to the handlebar fast and easy; the rubber strap's tactile compound holds the light firmly in position with only lightweight tension required
  • 3-cell lithium ion pack has the juice to run the Dual on high for 3 hours; mounts on the top tube, and weighs a scant 180g; that's less than 7 oz.!
  • Charger accepts wall voltage from 90 - 260 volts so you can charge it in many other countries
  • All Light & Motion’s lithium ion batteries are safety tested and certified worldwide, and include an internal safety circuit; the Dual features a low-battery warning light

Light up your night rides with the Light and Motion Stella 300 Dual Bike Light. Thanks to spotlight and flood beams that last up to three hours on the highest setting and twelve hours on low, you can ride like the wind late into the night. Weighing in at a scant 300 grams, the Stella 300 Dual weighs less than the tall-boy beer stashed in your pack, but its robust construction will take the abuse associated with off-roading. Light and Motion designed four settings into the Stella: high, med, low, and a motorist-alerting flash to make sure you’ll have the right brightness for every situation. The lightweight 3-cell Lithium-ion battery mounts on your steed’s top tube, and only takes five hours to charge. When gearing up for a ride, be sure to point out to your comrades—while they’re desperately fumbling with screws, clamps, and duct tape—the simple tool-free mounting of the Stella 300 Dual.

Incredible!

Rating:*****
After 15 years of various single bulb rechargeable halogens and multi-LED non-rechargeable lights, I decided to quit being cheap.

I use these daily in the very dark, very wet, often very cold German winters. Daily commute is 12km of very dark forest/farmland, then 3km of twisting small-town road.

Through the forest, the high beam definitely gets the deer moving before I get to them. With the cheaper lights, I wouldn't see them until I was on top of them. I would like to see a on/off switch on the flood, because there are a few other cyclists/runners on the trails that get blinded by the flood.

In the town, I switch to flashing mode and it's eye-catching enough that cars 1-2 blocks down will stop and wait until I pass.

I would like to see a bit more warning of a low-battery. My commute is only 35 minutes. About 10 minutes into it, the flashing started and the incremental drop in power, which was fine. The light stopped completely just as I was getting to work, so it was only about 20-23 minutes of warning, even using only low beam.

Great battery life!

I upgraded to the Stella 300 Dual from a NR Dual. Reason: Stella 300 has 3 hrs battery life! NR Dual has 1 hour 45 mins.

L and M battery waaaay better than NR battery. More powerful. Fits you bike better too.

However, I have to say that the Flood for this Stella 300 does not appear to be very effective. Looks to me like the flood lens just sends much of the beam back into the light instead of onto the road.

But, the non flood beam is awesome. A beautiful white light.

This light is worth the extra $ that you pay over the NR Dual.

I do consider this light a very good light. But, it's not a super terrific light.

Very good light

Rating:****
I picked up this light for xc trail riding at night. I really like the dual beams; one is a flood light and the other is a spot light and that combo really seems to work well. So the brightness and clarity are excellent. For trail riding though, you really need a light on your helmet in order to see around turns, and this light only mounts on handlebars. But the light itself is really nice. Quality seems excellent, nice and light weight and looks pretty cool too.
