I need a new bar light, can't make up my mind.
I'm not a night riding regular, struggling to justify exposure cost.
Lezyne 2400 seems to review well, but concerned it'll be under powered, however, why not run 2?
I don't understand how lumen ratings work, ie is it a cumulative measure ie 2400+2400 will equal 4800 lumens or is there more to it? Will a 4800 lumen exposure be throwing out a "brighter" light?
A quick Google shows the Lezyne at £130 (unless you've found them much cheaper). Winstanleys have a Maxx D Mk16 for £299.
Spend the extra £40, it'll be worth it
Recently considered the Lezyne 2400 to replace a 2016 MK9 Maxx-D that failed (Exposure did fix it for £17). Managed to buy a sale MK14 Maxx-D and can't believe the difference between the two.
At nearly 10 years trouble free use the MK9 was, and still is, a great light. Definitely think the investment on the new is well worth it, especially with the Exposure back up.
I bought a Lezyne 2400 as a sort of spare gravel/road light I could leave in a handlebar bag in case I ended up being out longer than planned. I've only used it a couple of times and it's OK but the beam is a bit odd (bright spot and then inconsistent brightness around it), wasn't terrible though. It's pretty chunky, I wouldn't want two on my bars and no remote is a negative for me. As said above, try and stretch your budget to an Exposure Maxx-D (assuming you're talking off-road riding), it's a much better solution all round.
I've recently bought one and I got it for £100 as I got and friends and family discount from Halfords. I'm not convinced, i'm sure my £20 torch is brighter maybe i need to get used to it.
Def go Exposure - take a look at the Outlet section on their website and join STW as a member and you’ll get an additional 18% off - you’ll be amazed how cheap a Toro or MaxxD comes out that way - don’t compromise! 👍
