Review: Lezyne Micro Drive Rear
This is a tail light for $50 that puts out about 70 Lumens. It’s got good side visibility and can be seen from well over a mile on a clear day.
The USB charging port is now moved to the bottom of the light with a better seal. This protects it from moisture and dirt much better.
