    Many, many thanks to Trout. 3000 Lumens on full. Pics from Trout as theyre better quality than i'll manage.


    And the obligatory beam shot.

    joisus… does that come with a permit? 😯

    really, why bother riding at night if you're going to use such a weapons grade lighting system? 🙄 😆

    psychle, as the only time i can ride is at night, dont do it for the supposed "skills sharpening" effect. And who's to say ill run it on full all the time.

    Badgers need blinding, maybe the feckers will stop running out in front of me then!

    I bet it'll make you laugh when you do though. 😀

    I don't ride at night for skills sharpening, but part of the fun of it is the 'tunnel effect' of only being able to see a certain amount around you…

    Don't know about blind badgers looking at that center spot blinds me. Just way to bright imo.

    So it now seems like lighting is now akin to the Cold War and nuclear overkill…

    One way to burn up he trails!

    Seriously bright. Wouldn't want to be riding infront and look behind me, that's for sure

    There is a family of badgers in the centre of that shot but they've been vapourised by the blinding light. Looks well made though.

    That hotspot is not how it is in real life the camera couldnt cope and it was 6 seconds exposure .

    It does dim down to a rosy glow

    I bet you cant wait to try it out Phil

    Lol at the comments though

    I bet sightings of UFO's in the woods near you increase in the near future 😉

    That has really made me smile, you'll never lose a dust cap when repairing a puncture on a night ride again 😆

    that'll dry the puddles before you reach them. Very impressive but as said above, not my bag, I like the feeling that you can't quite see as well as when it's daytime.

    what sort of noise does it make when you switch it on?

    Does it go 'FWOOOOMP'? Or 'ZZZZRRRRRUUUUIII' (can't quite work out how to spell that last one… you need a rising inflection on it as you imagine the power building up 😆 )

    What you cannot see is the generator he now has to tow. 😉

    In all seriousness, if it does get two hours on full beam from 5.2Ah, then the runtimes at "normal" lighting levels will be obscene, with a great beam profile.

    Sorry Billybull, ill leave that for Trout to answer, as it was a one-off, and it is his hobby/craft after all, but not much more than the other new Trout light.
