NR make great products - I’ve owned their systems and I use their rear flashers all the time - but they are definitely overdue for a refresh on their self contained Lumina units:
Light, brighter, longer running.
I mean, the current brightest Lumina (1800) only pumps out max output for 45mins and 1500 lumens for 1.5hrs (Dayblazer 1500 = 2hrs) and weighs 258grams (Dayblazer 140grams) and costs $170 USD (Dayblazer $95 USD).
I wonder if some of the disruption coming from the Bontragers and Blackburns out there is that they haven’t been selling expensive systems previously? It’s a big change in revenue per unit selling a Dayblazer 1500 v. a Pro 2200.
Anyways, I would count on them to release updated self-contained systems this Spring. I would never count them out. I’ve relied on their lights to get me through the woods for years with good results.
