My Maxx has just arrived 🙂
It's bigger (and a little heavier) than I expected, with a nice solid well made feel to it
Shining it up the garden it's very bright. I'm presuming this is manual high mode which is 2300 lumens, and on the trail in reflex mode it will be brighter, going up to max (3200)?
I have a question - if running on either of the first 3 'A' (Reflex) modes, can the light be manually turned down to a low setting?
Suggest you read the manual (I think they still come with one).
double click for on, takes you to High, press button to cycle to Medium (if applicable), Low and then back to High. When on, hold button for 2sec? for flash. Hold longer for off.
When off hold for 5sec? to enter settings mode. Starts at 1, press to go through, if you dont press for 2sec? it set it in that mode and turns off.
In reflex you will get full lumens if moving, its drops down if not. So to test in garden shake it for 5-10 seconds then rest it on a bin or wall, you can watch it power down as it senses no movement.
Thanks STATO, I've pretty much got all that. The included 'manual' is very basic and does not include that sort of info, nor does Exposure's website
I'm just wondering how much manual control you have when in Reflex mode
If I'm on a short rode section in Reflex, I would want to turn it down to low for example
Bonesetter - when in reflex, just use high, medium etc as you would normally do. I use mine in PGM1 and just toggle it down a bit when stopped etc, or if trying to save some power. As soon as you go back to high the reflex kicks in on its own
Depends if the road section is uphill or if you are getting all agro with your sprinting 😆
Really though even reduced high is WAY too much to be using on the road if there are other road users around, hell its too much on shared trails where your likely to be meeting other riders. Keep High for techy downhills and if you need a decent amount for riding flat singletrack put it in Medium.
I have a Mk7 (2400L max in reflex) and its rare I use the reflex mode or full beans high, typically in one of the lower power settings with 2 modes for trail and road sections.
