Lezyne Lite Drive 1000XL vs NiteRider Lumina 900 Boost
I recently started riding in the dark mornings before work but my old (2007) NiteRider only lasts about 30-45 minutes, I think the battery is just worn.
For a replacement I've heard good things about the Lezyne Lite Drive 1000XL and the NiteRider Lumina 900 Boost, both at $70 price on Amazon. I'm also open to other light suggestions.
Does anyone have any experience with either/both of these lights? What are your thoughts? My max budget is $100, but ideally less than that. I'll be riding mostly unlit roads/bike paths and think a single handlebar mounted light should be sufficient.

You might want to see if your light will run while being charged. I carry an external battery for my phone when I ride, and you might be able to use one of these. Not only that, you could carry two. Even two would be cheaper than a new light though it is less convenient.
