Love the Boost 3. Using it as a ‘be seen’ for morning rides. In flash mode it’s great to see signs lighting up 200m down the road which means they know I’m out here.
Having owned the previous version of this light for several years I decided to upgrade to the newer one so all my kit is USB C which makes charging so much easier. This latest version has a longer runtime, more lumens and with the USB C it seems to charge quicker too. Personally I can't think of a better front light for the money.
Perfect for my needs! Bright enough to feel safer in the day for my commute and long-running enough to use for club-rides. It's my go-to front light for road riding.
Excellent little light. I've used the Trace and TraceR for many years and this is a brighter or longer lasting upgrade in a very similar package. USB-C is a welcome upgrade, as is the built-in hood over the lens (not sure the performance is better than the old Boost design but I think this is a more robust solution).
My only criticism is for the mounting clip that isn't quite as tight as the Trace - I had a Boost2 that came loose upon a hard impact during a ride in a heavy downpour; the Trace I have stayed put but the Boost 2 is somewhere in the undergrowth. But the fact I've come back and bought the same thing again shows it's still an excellent compact light. Here's hoping I find my old one again some time...
Incredible performance, typical Exposure quality.
I’ve been using the Exposure Boost 3 front light and it is absolutely excellent. For such a compact, lightweight unit, the brightness and beam pattern are phenomenal, making it perfect for both daily commuting and as a sleek secondary light for darker lanes.
The build quality is bulletproof, battery life is reliable, and the fuel gauge makes power management effortless. If you want a premium, hassle-free light that punches way above its weight, this is it. Highly recommended!

Exposure Boost 3
I can only say good things about this light, it looks clean, feels well-built, and will last for years if you look after it.
I haven’t had it for long, but I’ve been using it daily for my commute, and it does exactly what I need. It’s strong enough to be seen, and also bright enough to light the road ahead, depending on the weather and conditions.
I also run an Exposure Race Mk19 as my full power option for pitch-black rides, it’s lightweight but seriously powerful. But back to the Boost, I highly recommend it as an everyday light.
Due to the regulations here in the UK if I want to race CTT time trial events a front and rear light must be used. Fits under my computer mount using the GoPro adapter. Perfect for my time trial bike. Small, mega bright and tucked away so aero also. Recommend
Very robust build. Daybright mode is attention grabbing on urban roads. Battery life is very reasonable. The Boost was easy to attach to my handlebars. Excellent customer service - delivered 2 days after ordering.
Bought it for my husband
He says
Great light.
Use it to get to and from the trails.
Love the addition of the shade to stop the flashing distracting the rider.
Also have the older rear light.
Both Very bright.
Great light. It's so lightweight that there's no reason ever to go out without it. I use it for group rides or all day epic rides where the bright flashing light makes me feel that cars are more likely to see me. Also, I use it for short commutes during the winter where in constant mode it's easily bright enough for urban rides, even the bits where the street lights are sparce. If you're using this light on multiple bikes, I recommend getting the extra wedge-shaped mount. This makes changing between bikes a matter of seconds. It also makes it easy to use a different light for a different type of ride, so if I'm riding in the countryside at night, I'll swap out for my Exposure Strada RB. Again, it takes seconds to swap them over and leaves your handlebars free.
I now have the boost and the serius 11. I use them for different situations but, the two lights are very good for many reasons. I am pleased with the purchases.
Thank you
I haven’t had chance to use it yet as I’ve had a cold since getting it and Christmas also got in the way. Very happy with it and I’m looking forward to using it
I have commuted for over 20 years by bike and have never been let down by Exposure lights. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for and more. I purchased these for my wife’s short commute needless to say they are great. I simply love these products and appreciate the quality and engineering.
Beautifully crafted light that just speaks quality through and through. Superb customer experience with speedy delivery too. Just need to start riding at night so I can justify buying another light!
It is a good light, Still trying to optimize battery life to get through my rides, and mounting options are somewhat limited. I do like the design and the consideration to prevent it from shining up towards your eyes.
