Thinking of upgrading from a helmet-mounted Ay-Up (Feb 2009) to a Lumenator.
Has anyone done this - or compared the light output?
Worth the pennies?
Cheers!
I have 09 Ay-Ups but not a Lumenator however I can confidently say the Lumenator will be significantly brighter based off comparison with other lights I have that aren't as good as it is. Whether you actually need more than the Ay-Ups depends on where and how fast you ride.
OP - are you aware that Ay Up does [url= http://www.ayup-lights.com/products/categories/12/ ]upgrades[/url]?
Ayup aren't doing the upgrades from the 19th of this month until next Feb, btw.
TBH even the very latest Ayup still isn't very bright- they've more or less caught up with 2010. But they're still lovely little units so if you're not in the lumen war, still worth considering.
I've compared them. I have lumenator, mate has ay-up. Post test, he's ordered a lumenator and will use ay-up on his road bike....nuff said!
Cheers everyone.
Hoping to fund the Lumenator purchase by punting the Ay-ups on ebay (well, that's what I'm telling the wife).
