This
is one really smart light. !!
Its
very light small and compact,, requires no external wires (which is
a massive advantage).
Mounts
neatly on the handle bars.
The
battery is a LION rechargable unit and is inserted into the exposure
unit by unscrewing the back plate of the light.
The
battery takes approx six hours to charge and gives a run time of approx
2.5 hrs
on
high beam and normal beam the run time is supposed to be 90hrs.
When
your out on your own the light seems very bright, its a very narrow
beam. so when navigating narrow singletrack you cannot see whats around
the corner. when out with a group, who mainly had top of the line HID
lights, it seemed very dim. riding in front of these guys was allmost
impossible.
The
exposure didnt provide enough light to fill my shadow.
The
bar mount also needs to be a QR system, at the moment an allen key is
required to mount and remove the light. if you have a couple of bikes
this is a real pain. I really like the idea of no wires. its just so
neat. the light can be easly mounted on a helmet if required. I have
yet to try it out as a helmet light
.
Despite
a few niggles, this is the first generation of Super LED light and its
very good. I tend to use it more for my own night spins down the lanes.
and i am sure it will be great on the next Saab Saloman mountain mayhem
