PORTLAND, Ore. (BRAIN) — Portland Design Works’ new Lars Rover is a USB-rechargeable headlight with a Panasonic li-ion battery, CREE LED and Texas Instruments integrated circuit. It is available in 450- and 650-lumen models.
Both lights have alloy construction with a delayed power switch to prevent accidental on and off, and they wake up in the mode last used.
The Lars Rover 450 has five power and function modes with different burn times: 125 lumens for 7.5 hours, 250 lumens for 3.75 hours, 450 lumens for two hours, and fast flashing or pulse for 10 hours.
The 650-lumen light also has five modes: 175 lumens for 7.5 hours, 340 lumens for four hours, 650 lumens for two hours, and fast flashing or pulse for 10 hours.
Both models also provide an additional 15 minutes of low-power safety mode after the low-battery indicator light comes on. The lights fully charge in 5.5 hours with the included USB cord. They come with three mounting options, including a helmet mount and quick-release rubber mount.
MSRP: $85 (Lars Rover 450), $110 (Lars Rover 650).
