There is an auto mode, which turns the light on and off in whichever of the light's seven settings you choose, depending on how dark/bright the conditions. Some will appreciate this (George found it 'interesting' when he reviewed the slightly lower power non-Pro Moon Meteor-X Auto), but I'm pretty indifferent to it. I'm sure there's an application for it, I just never found it. You can find all of our top-rated options in BikeRadar’s guide to the best mountain bike lights. Also tested

Despite the Moon Meteor Storm Pro feeling much brighter than its claimed lumen output, the beam’s pattern is especially focused even when it’s operating in the mixed beam mode. The remote/light USB-C connection interface is stiff and I struggled to get the two to connect reliably without using excessive force. Once connected, I had no issues, though. You'll find the charging point underneath and it uses the small USB type found on most mobile phones. It's protected by a small rubber cover.So the first aspect of price that we’re going to look at is the price of Moon Vortex Pro Front Light. In the day flash setting you'll get 45hrs out of the light. That's easily enough for all the riding I can do for nearly a month. It's perfect for training rides when the sun never really comes up.

products that meet this search were more expensive than Moon Vortex Pro Front Light and 7 were cheaper. You can of course drop the lumens to 250, giving you 3hrs of run-time. I didn't quite get that on one daytime training ride, the light went out after 2hrs 53mins, but it was a pretty cold day. This setting is perfect for street-lit rides in the evening.

This unit's run times all matched the claims, even in the recent cold weather. At three hours on the 700 lumen setting, you can get in some decent miles after work, though the 1000 lumens might be needed in darker lanes.
