  1. Hi All, Currently my working hours are such that I only arrive at home after dark. Unfortunately the moonlight alone isn't enough for a safe visibility and I want to invest in serious lighting when riding in the dark. I'm looking for a light that: A. I can cycle with (helmet, handlebar, whatever mount) B. I can detach for using on 'n kamp in die bos - very nice optional C. Has a high lumen output i.e. it actually lights up the road to see as a car light does for a car and doesn't just make a shiny white blob on your head for oncoming traffic. D. Includes modern features like light, strobe, sos flashing E. Has a decent battery life while provides sufficient lighting. around 2-3 Hours would be good F. If it has stungun-properties to use instead of mace, you get extra "likes" I've looked at Blinder (better than the rest but still meh), cateye (many misleaded, such meh), and several other no-name brands. So far only the higher end Niterider models stand out, but I'm not finding much reference and reviews as to how useful people find them as opposed to vendor trash. Normal flashlights with mounting options or ideas are equally welcome! Spam as many suggestions as you like, as long as it applies at least point A to C. kgo
  2. Actual runtimes tests reveals that the Extreme 2k Cycle light preforms much better than estimated Original post here. Under promise and over deliver; This is something you don’t see a lot in the cycling light world. Our recent runtime test for the Extreme 2k revealed that this miniature light does not fall short. We where conservative in our original estimation of 4h but we did not expect this at all. The high power density of Panasonic cells and efficiency of the cutting edge 3 x Cree XM-L2 U2 was able to achieved well over 5h45 for 1800 real lumen. The light and battery only weighs 398g. Compare that to the Extreme 1200 MKII which weighs about the same but only produces 900 Lumen for 4h. The Extreme 2K is a showcase of how much LED and battery technologies has improved over the last 3 years. http://extremelights.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2014/02/2K-Post.jpg The test is the first run results and needs to be repeated to be confirmed.
