Anybody using these how do you find them ?
As bright in the real world as on paper etc
Thanks
Yeah I've got a holy Moses, standard white LED, medium lens. It's hard to know what a 2500 lumens should be like, but it's certainly a lot brighter than my Hope R4's, which are a 1000 lumen, but I was expecting them to be a bit brighter. Maybe a narrow lens would have been better to go with my hope headlight. Having said that it's still plenty of light. I went for the QR 5200 battery. Everything's really well made although the bar attachment could be better
All good here. Plenty of light and no issues at all.
There are a variety of lenses and options so it may be worth contacting them before filling finalising your shopping basket.
Thanks will contact them to discuss options.
depends what you are used to - i've just started using mine as a helmet light with a pouch battery, replaced a six year old light & motion arc ultra (675 lumens) - although i find it difficult to compare HID lumens with the reported LED lumen figures thb
the arc was an excellent light, with a fanastic beam and excellent battery but did have a very bright hot spot in the centre of the beam but this year after many years excellent service wouldn't start up
its early days yet, only my third night ride using it this evening, was fine (more than enough light for me), although I couldn't get it to stay on high setting this evening (either i'm too slow or it was too warm) - it auto switches to a lower beam i.e. lower temp when too warm
no hot spots in the centre of the beam, high quality construction, not used it longer than 135 minutes yet so can't comment on the battery duration really, and has taken a couple of hard knocks from tree branches already and light enough to run on a helmet and was much cheaper than the alternatives i was considering (SpiderEyes by troutelights and the L&M Seca 1400) when i bought it
plus its ten times better than the Exposure Diablo Mk1 I wasted £200 notes on
I have been using them for sometime. Most off my riding group are using them too, once one person got them every one else needed to up their lights to keep up! Great lights and very reliable. I have a green Holy Moses on the bar together with a smaller Four4th light on my helmet. The flood has a massive spread of bright light, the hotspot on my less bright helmet light is actually almost as bright. On the bars I find the wide flood great. For riding by myself I can easily ride them on low on medium power, I rarely put the Holy Moses on high.
Funnily enough my spare light is a L&M Arc which is I think is one of the best pre modern-LED lights. Mine has outlasted Hope and Exposure lights that I have used since buying it many years ago.
Del from Four 4th's Loaned me a Holy Moses for a lap at Mayhem this year... It was one powerful beastie! Can well believe the claimed 2500 Lumens on High, it's brighter than anything else I've tried for sure, and it's got a good spread of light too. The battery life isn't very good though with the smaller battery, so suggest getting a big one for sure, and boy does it get warm if you leave it on high and aren't going very fast! Low setting is enough for just riding along to be honest, medium more than enough for riding fairly quickly, you only really need the high for fast descending.
Still prefer the beam pattern of my Trout Liberator (it throws out light everywhere!) but the Four 4th's are certainly brighter.
Agreed, got a wide Moses on the bar and road us it's on low, fire road / tracks is on medium and only high for high speed descent or technical trails. Exodus on the helmet with narrow spot is also great.
