Agree with the spotiness for a helmet light. Got a 4fourth scorch and a joystick.
In theory the same lumens but the joystick has a much better focus so punches through the dark better. I now use the scorch on the bars as it’s floodier which works well.
A MK2 reflex on the bars and a joystick on the lid (very old and pretty much blown away by the reflex even it’s on low). Both 2nd hand, the reflex I rented for 24/12 then bought off exposure. Both phenomenal.
Also have a race maxx MK1/2 for the commuter hooked up to an 80 lumen rear light (I forget the exact name).
