Light Meter Measurements:
This light measured 40 lux on our light. This was a bit lower than expected as most of the competition rated at 700 lumens came in at 45-50 lux.
Strengths:
- great value at $199
- good battery and charger for the price and upgrade paths are available
- CNC’d head unit is A+
- bar mount and helmet mount are excellent
- helment mount crash detach feature is a good safety feature
- US made and US supported.
- connectors are bulletproof!
Weaknesses:
- light output came in a bit lower than expected
- ultra long wires are not ideal
Bottom Line:
If you want a basic, handmade helmet light with a traditional design, this is a good solution. You will be blown away by the light output possibility of a single helmet mounted head unit.
