I’ve the origial magicshine one.
+ silly bright
+ un-angled seapost bracket means the main beam illuminates a big patch of road behind and the periferal LED’s are as bright as a normal light pointing back and to the sides.
+ works off 8.4V batteries (i.e. magicshine, solarstorm et. al. with the appropriate addapter or spliter cable)
-I’d rather the switch just clicked between modes, however far you turn it just changes one mode, why not just have 3-4 clicks (off, pulse, strobe, on)?
-‘switch’ seems a little un-sensative this year after 2 years of abuse. Might take it appart for a clean with some contact cleaner.
-like anything seapost mounted it’s obscured by saddle bags, might get a Triathlon style headtube bag to get arround this.
