Exposure Zenith MK2 review

So, what’s the difference between this Zenith and the more common-or-garden Diablo?

Cheers

@stanley Joystick has 1150 max lumens and a 3,500 mAh battery. And is a bit smaller and lighter.

Thanks Ben,

Yeah, I have a Joystick but was wondering what the difference is between this here Zenith, and the very similar looking Diablo?

2100lm Vs 1900lm and 5000Mah Vs 3500Mah batteries, 150g Vs 120g.

@stanley D’oh! Totally misread your original comment/question. Anyway, looks like someone with a functioning brain has come to the rescue 💯

I would also hazard a guess that most headtorches (Diablo, Joystick, Axis) use an 18650 battery while the Zenith uses a 21700. Same voltage but it’s longer and slightly wider so has more capacity

For me, it needs to be USB chargeable and be able to charge other things. This has been really useful in the past.

I use this as a bar mounted light with an old (3/4 year) Joystick as a helmet light and works a dream – I don’t go downhilling, just fire-roads and easyish trails and they work a treat. The only thing was that I had to fork out for the solid bar mount as I don’t think the plastic supplied one would be up to the job.

I use one for my semi off-road commute on the bars. It’s the best light quality of any light I’ve owned and would be a better only light, bar mounted, than my old 2nd generation Lumicycle LED lamp.

The Zenith isn’t as powerful as a modern bar-mounted light

At £265 id really expect it to be.

Looks like you can USB charge it:
